I really feel for his family, but I just can't blame his death on the Government. Did they handle this poorly and overreach greatly? Yes. Did they kill him? No. He was offered a plea deal for 6 months in prison. Nobody in their right mind kills themselves over 6 months in jail or the prospect of being a felon.
Obviously being labeled a felon and 6 months in jail sucks, but it's not like he couldn't get a job because of it. Based on the front page of HN for the last several days it's clear he was a well respected and loved individual in our community. He would have been just fine.
