Accused of killing his cellmate and facing the death penalty, believed to be suicide.
It's always sad to see guys throw their lives away. He had so much talent, but he was such a cancer.
Not every person can defeat their inner demons which threaten to consume them. They sometimes also take other person's lives as well along their way. His letter to his mother indicates his danger to those around him and should have resulted in him being isolated while being treated for obvious mental issues.

We have seen too many times that a person kills others before killing themselves -- sometimes with "suicide by cop".
I remember him driving across a basketball court trying to run over somebody, and am frankly surprised he lasted this long.
Talk about a fall from grace.
