If it was by suicide (young deaths usually are), it wasn't so surprising.

I had listened to some podcasts where he said his financial situation hadn't been great.

If you watch them, you can kind of see his mind thinking.

I think you only notice such things if you've entertained the thoughts yourself.

TMZ says it was suicide.

His business manager stole all his money from Breaking Bad so dude actually ended up in debt because of all the taxes he owed. She never paid his taxes which he didn't find out until years later. She was sending him fake documents.

Link to the podcast?

I had the same thought the other day, once you feel a certain way, identifying it in others is much easier. Definitely true for depression and suicide, but I guess I've also seen it be true for gay people as well (who always seem to know within seconds who is and isn't gay).

From what I understand, his manager basically withheld a lot of money and didn’t pay taxes, even though claiming they were paid. He didn’t find out until years later, which put him in a lot of debt.
