Oh wow... I enjoyed his odd little insider tweets that would sometimes leak information. RIP Jimmy

Hope that his family is able to heal from this. Johnny is close with his family iirc.

Yesterday was his eldest son's birthday.

Quote:
Instagram posts made by Hayes’s wife, Kristen, around midnight Sunday showed the family of four at an arcade playing games. Hayes, sporting a Patriots cap and a smile, appeared well. They were celebrating the second birthday of their son Beau. Their other son, Mac, was born May 5.
Quote:
Law enforcement and first responders went to Hayes’s Milton home, where he was pronounced dead, a law enforcement official said. His death is not considered suspicious. The cause of death was not immediately available.

Apparently was out with the family celebrating his son’s birthday at an arcade last night. This is absolutely tragic.

I'm not going to name the thing - but the phrasing of how police are wording this strongly indicates what happened. Awful.

I don't think we should stigmatize talking about suicide. We should make it more accessible to talk about, not less. Just my two cents.

Although still speculation. Could have been a medical emergency or something, you never know.

The only reason I didn't name it is because it is speculation.
But yes I agree.

I can't see it being suicide, I think a medical emergency is more likely. Sad regardless.

Whatever the cause, it is tragic.

Apologies for the speculation, it is probably best to avoid such things out of respect for the family.
