I'm really trying to steel man the suicide angle. If he was unstable enough coming out to go through with suicide, but according to all other sources was eager and ready going in, that'd suggest something happened between time_entrance & time_left that reduced a man with the conviction to take on his employer of 32 years on behalf of the public and his own standards; to a suicidal wreck.
Either
A) They seriously ripped him a new one, by presenting evidence that countered the accusations being levied in his case sufficiently that he realized there was no further point going on.
or through rhetoric, or trickery, opposing council got him to believe that it was all his fault somehow.
B I can see, maybe. As someone whose done the work before, in spite of hostile management even, it iis very easy for a company to drum up every mistake or failure ever committed to paper. Sitting through 32 years of opposing council's best attempts to discredit you would be rough.
A I just can't see. Not with what we know. I could even understand a suicide after all depositions were done. We all collect ghosts; and they haunt us so well. Not before every last name was named. I dotted, and T crossed.
I suppose a C) could be an offer that couldn't be refused that would ensure his family'd be taken care of, but even that'd be ludicrous given what he already knew of their trustworthyness.
I guess I'll have to wait for things to end up in RECAP to read and make a conclusive decision.
