    The story says he passed away. It doesn’t say anywhere that he committed suicide. Because his family is asking for donations for first responders suicide, you’re making that assumption. Who cares about you anyway. Options for you to attack me are minimal so I get it. You are still a total loser Incel. Grand Massonic=🤡
