Like Hunter S. Thompson killing himself after bush got reelected

[โ€“] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

He didn't kill himself. He said many times that he would eventually commit suicide to prevent himself from developing terminal illnesses, but he always clarified that he wouldn't even consider it if he still had work to do, aka his personal projects. He had two personal projects in the works when he was killed. He just knew too much and was way too vocal about it.
