“Schweich was a fifth generation Missourian and a graduate of Missouri’s public school system.[4] He had Jewish ancestry but attended an Episcopal church.[5]”

“Elections have consequences,” the advertisement begins. “Tom Schweich, like him? No. Is he a weak candidate for governor? Absolutely, just look at him. He could be easily confused for the deputy sheriff of Mayberry.” The ad was referencing the clownish Barney Fife character played by Don Knotts in The Andy Griffith Show.”
Okay, I’ve seen pictures of Schweich, yes, one could say he looks a bit like deputy Fife.
Still, all of this isn’t enough to kill oneself unless someone suffered already from some sort of mental illness.
What a tragedy whatever this is about.
“Why did Tom Schweich kill himself? Missouri’s auditor, running for governor, vowed to fight corruption”

Now, this gets a bit interesting.
I don’t know. He was supposed to give an interview to a reporter an hour or so after he died. That seems suspicious. If suicide, it was probably some other news he received?
That’s the one.
It sounds like he became unhinged.
Yeah! Vince Foster supposedly committed suicide because of mean spirited Republicans in DC.
