while Suicide is always a sad end for someone, but he pleaded guilty to possession of Child Porn, and he was facing a prison sentence that would had been possibly a life sentence. and i bet he decided to chose suicide over life in prison where he would have to say out of the part of prison known as "general population" cause pedophiles are usually the ones that would be possibly murdered by fellow prison inmates as they hate people who ruined the innocents of children.
for his family, i feel sorry for them as they lost a family member, but for the man himself, i don't feel sorry for him at all.
as for this thread, i think it should be locked due to the nature of his crime.
