Personal opinion:
I actually heard about this case before and I sincerely hope they figure out what exactly caused this man's early demise. In many of these cases the guilt eats away at a man (or woman) and it becomes so unbearable that the only way to make the voices in their head stop talking is to die. Suicide is often a quick and easy answer for many of these accused peole. While he was accused, I believe in 'innocent until proven guilty', especially when it comes to police officers. Men and women who have taken an oath to serve and protect.
