Oh captain, my captain

It appears he had money troubles as well which were catching up on him. Bad investments & the maintenance from 2 divorces putting him at the risk of bankruptcy, but he had the nous to ringfence a big part of his estate to ensure when he was gone they would be ok.

This gives me the horrible thought that he killed himself because he thought his family would be better off without him. I'm sure they'd have traded in all the perks from his fame & wealth to keep someone they loved.
