And, Todd, he was suffering. Back pain still after surgery, hip replacement that wasn't that good and a broken leg from a trip to Hawaii just recently and still mending.
He was jacked up, I'm sure and had a history of bipolar type of behavior. Still, he was apparently somewhat rational about his final act. As were my relatives and friend.
