Just checked the wiki. It's a bit limited. Prior to his suicide, he split
up with his long-time partner Debra (Debian was named as a combination of
their names), had taken it hard as most long-term mid-life breakups tend
to do, and was apparently soon to be evicted from his mansion, and had
taken to the bottle.

I'm not aware of any projects that he was currently involved with that
would have led to any interest in him by.. state actors.

As far as I can tell, its just the sad case of a man who suffered the
greatest pain one can. To lose no longer be able to afford the pricetag of
what one has, and to lose what is priceless.
