I’m late in posting this but it hurt my heart. He was so iconic as the Green and White Ranger and it’s horrible to see that he went out like this. I hope he finds peace now.
So it was suicide? I heard it was suicide, but no article I read stated it was suicide outright, just that they haven't confirmed how he died. I wouldn't expect him to commit suicide, because he was always cool with fans and seemed like he wanted to be there. He was probably good at hiding his depression though.
I didn't know he went through a divorce recently. That could have pushed him to doing this, but I think there's more. Maybe he was diagnosed with something bad and had limited time left. I remember when Robin Williams died, he committed suicide because he found out he had Parkinson, or was it Alzheimer's, I don't remember. But I guess it was already starting to affect him, and he couldn't live with it.
JDF was a huge part of my childhood. Power Rangers was a big thing in my house growing up, most of us kids watched it.
