The guys been in prison before and seemed to enjoy it, posted pictures from prison in the dominican republic which is way worse than spanish prison. The guy talked about being content a week ago, "I'm old and content with food and a bed", he felt bad for the young people who were afraid of prison. He was still able to tweet and enjoyed interacting with people.

If you think he killed himself, you don't understand how humans work, plain and simple.

If there's anything I've learned in my life, it's that I don't understand how humans work. Which is why I'm pretty skeptical of your implicit claim that you do know how humans work.

Suicide doesn't involve humans working as they should, and anyone who pretends to understand suicide, or understand what motivates people to kill themselves, or believes anyone to be incapable of killing themself, is mistaken. I hope you never find out how mistaken you are.

Unless they’ve attempted it, which many people alive today have. I suspect even more have seriously considered it. But I agree that it is an acutely foreign place relative to the average human experience.

His whole brand was avoiding the US government, with everything else being a perpetual vacation and experience

Its very on brand for him to never reconcile this
