I don't even know where to look anymore. I, too, find it hard to think he took his own life mainly because of Samantha. But the questions that need to be answered to go down that path are many. Did he have a gun, did he leave a note, does his family think that is what happened etc.?
Then, on the other hand, if he left to start a new life, why did he leave his vehicle behind, what is he doing for money, etc.?
Why does he have a service animal?
So many questions, so little information, so much anguish and frustration.
