Devastated to read this just now. Why would you do that with a wife and kids?

RIP

There are some rumours going around he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, which caused him to do this.

A real shame. R.I.P. Good director.

I could be totally wrong but that story sounds like a possible smokescreen to stop people speculating on why he did it.

I don't know. It's just what's been popping up here and there on the web. As I said, rumours ;)

I guess it were nothing more than just rumours...

That makes it even sadder that he decided to end his own life.

Yeah. I just had a hunch that story wasn't true. :?

It popped up from different angles, which I guess is the reason why more and more people starting repeating it and taking it for truth, or at least as a possible cause...

I wonder if they'll release a statement about the contents of the letter he left, perhaps answering some of the questions.

If I found out I had inop brain cancer and was planning to commit suicide I doubt I'd tell my family in advance.

Personally, I'd probably start a meth-lab so I can leave them some money....
