Good for him.
Since murder was his "thing" he just murdered the only person he ever had a right to.

...pretty shocking news! Such a sad, sick story, all around. He was highly intelligent and I'm sure he was aware of all the evidence against him- and that he'd be locked up for a long, long time. I'm sure all his life he was congratulated and praised on his high scholastic achievement; he was used to being the golden boy. What secrets he had and why he did what he did will go to the grave with him- obviously, he couldn't endure being placed in a courtroom and having his true self revealed for the monster he was. As an advanced medical student, I'm sure he knew EXACTLY how to kill himself. In a way, I'm sure some people are glad they won't have to relive their experiences w/him in court for all the world to see, but it is sad that the victims' families and the living victim won't be able to experience the catharsis of a trial- if that's what it would be; I wouldn't know. He was, indeed, a sneak and a coward to the end. Scary to think how sick some people are in our society, esp. those who [had] such a bright future.
Anticlimatic, to say the least..:twocents:
First he pleads not guilty, then kills himself. That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
I bet the devil has a space reserved for him on the top shelf!

I'm not so sure they aren't glad about this. I think what victims really care about is the outcome of a trial. He gave them the best possible outcome. JMO
One article I read said Saturday would have been his first wedding anniversary ~ had the marriage taken place. I wonder if that had anything to do with the timing. MOOIt's not uncommon for innocent people to kill themselves in despair.
Well, here's our answer:
Family of victim reacts to Markoff suicide
Boston.com
"The long-awaited criminal prosecution was their only opportunity to confront him, and now he has taken that away as well," Djuna Perkins, the family's lawyer, wrote in an e-mail. "
Do they really give people behind bars plastic bags - especially to those who have threatened suicide before?
I feel very sad for all the families involved. I can not even imagine what this has done to them. His mom and dad have lost their son, and now the victims family have not only lost their loved one, but they have also lost the chance of confronting him and seeking justice for what he had been accused. I think his way out of this makes everything harder (emotionally) for everyone IMO.
