Hopefully he left a note...but it's just so sad that he felt he needed to end his life this way. My mother had a friend many years ago that had breast cancer. She fought it and had recovered successfully from it. She appeared as normal as could be and when her husband left for a ball game, she took out a pistol that she had bought and blew her brains out. She left a note stating that she was fearful that the cancer was back and she didn't want to go through the treatments again and just wanted to end it. The community was shocked and devastated that no one had picked up on her intentions.
Keeping all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
