Had he been beaten up? Had he been murdered?

I mean, it took like over a year for me to get his records released. We did get a hold of the morgue and found out that he had committed suicide with a chainsaw that day. And we learned that from them. Fighting for records after that with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that we're investigating, they were the other agency brought in to investigate it.

No, not any kind of empathy, definitely not. We finally found out that they had ruled that there was no legal wrongdoing. You know, nobody had... harmed him. Nobody had participated in it. Nobody had committed a crime per se. But that wasn't, it didn't answer questions. No, so we brought a lawsuit. I finally was fortunate.

They were like, you get the details first and we'll look over the records and we'll determine if there's a case So we couldn't get anywhere.
