Joss has spiraled over the last number of years, particularly after a house fire destroyed his home and killed his pets. His husband claims it was arson, but Joss admitted previously (and evidently it was determined) that a grill was left on and caused the fire.
He was excluded from a recent KOTH revival panel, but showed up anyway and disrupted the event. Neighbors have a history of complaints with the couple, and it sounds like the feud with this particular neighbor ended fatally.
It feels like there is more to this story, but I could be completely wrong.

Thanks for this context. I took his husband's account as credible and reliable. It appears there may be reason not to.
