"Suicidal people don't pack up and move"?

How do you know? Perhaps somewhere in the process of moving out of the house that Gary shared with his wife and three children, it became intolerably painful for him. There's no way of knowing what was going through his head at the time preceding his death--not to you, not to me, not to anyone else here.

Yes, perhaps it was a "hit," as you put it. Perhaps a Hummerload of Arnold's pals pulled up at Gary's house and took him out. But the possibility of that scenario, or one similar to it, is probably quite slim. Sometimes a suicide is just a suicide.

Like I said, I worked with him; I left that job two weeks ago, after nearly five years there. As Gary only started working there in late summer, I didn't know him well; I'm not sure anyone on our editorial staff did, as he was a very private person who preferred to work from home. But my interactions with him were invariably pleasant and positive, and most everyone at the paper is completely broken up about what happened.

Of course, you're certainly welcome to entertain any theories that run contrary to what I just posted. But that doesn't make them fact-based. Please understand the difference.
