His behavior is unpredictable,” the petition obtained by Rolling Stone reads. “Micah poses a real threat… and he has been violent with his own family members.”

Wonderful singing voice, so much feeling.
Rest in eternal peace, Jubilant.
My utmost condolences to his loved ones.

It sounds from the Yahoo article he (the son) was living at home; and from the link below (ABC 7 News) starting at about 1:18 ff; the family had tried to get him help for years.

The fact that they had not had the son committed , makes me wonder if out of compassion they let him stay at home and get outpatient treatment ?
So sad !!!!
You can't force someone to get help.
Imo.
