Why did he do it? $$$ problem?

Woman problem.

He was staying in a hotel room with his girl friend. They argued about breaking up, and he committed suicide.

The rumor also flying around is that he was under pressure to generate more income for DSE,and this may be what led to his suicide. Maybe he was trying to break up with her because he was already planning on taking his life and didn't want to have any feelings of guilt,...or maybe she was trying to break up with him and and the timing with the pressure from the business just forced him to crack.

Without a suicide note,we'll probably never know.

What a waste...

Chyna who made us angry, Tanahasi who was stabbed and him who commits suicide for a woman...

This winter, don't make something with a woman !

According to Meltzer's site that (break-up with a woman) is also used as a cover for gangland slayings. But he could have been having woman problems.

Did he have any links to organized crime?
