"Are you arguing that he did commit suicide?"

Oh, heck no! How would I know?

Some of us have debated the suicide issue and some people feel strongly that the laws designating suicide as an 'illegal act' should be changed.

If the law were changed, should the state step in to prohibit someone who has a case under appeal from committing? Or should the act of committing, nullify their appeal?

In a case like this, where the settlement could be in the millions or even billions, either going to the estate or to the claimants, it seems worth discussing.
