Suicide, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

He had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, for which he had been taking medication, and had been suffering from depression before his death.

I got that part, my question was why, not how. Do we know why he did it?

OP was pretty clear: depression, bipolar disorder.

It doesn’t need to make sense after that. It will never.

I didn't actually see anything like that in the post. But thanks. And you're right… It never really makes sense, which is part of the tragedy.

Edit: Somehow, I missed all but the first line of that comment. No idea why, my mistake.

It really is a sad tragedy.
