| #3 Maybe he had life insurance and saw that as a source of funds. At any rate it is sad for all. |

| #2 "he was in serious financial trouble and couldn't see another way out" So he stuck his family with the debt (assuming he was married, his wife now owes it; if he wasn't married, his estate owes it, and any children can take a back seat). Nice guy. :-( |

| #1 Well that sucks! Especially for his family, assuming he has some - they'll never be able to view the holidays the same again. Sounds like he was in serious financial trouble and couldn't see another way out. Being a politician doesn't make one immune to that, or to depression. |
