I'm just waiting for his family or some activist group to sue the State on his behalf for negligently allowing him to take his own life in this manner, stating that the government should have prevented and known about such risks to human life.
I don't believe this, I'm just cynical that someone will make this argument.
Edit: Didn't read the article until now. Apparently they alluded to it by talking about investigating the incident.
Why would he plea guilty in order to avoid the death penalty and then kill himself? Wanted the power to do it himself, not the gov't? With 937 counts, they couldn't say forget the plea, were getting you? I actually would rather have the plea because no need for a trial, a chance to get off on something, and a potentially lengthy appeals process.
