alt Hacker NewsTMZ 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.

"I write a check to go pay my taxes, and instead of her using it to pay my taxes, she would send me a fake filing of taxes and take that money."
Maybe he was way too innocent! You write a check to the IRS or have federal/state auto-detect. That option is there for sure if filing electronically.
This kind of theft seems so standard in the industry. It's surprising they get away with it.

Grift layered on grift. What a world.
Horrible. And she's still doing it to other actors and her identity is not disclosed.
> According to the actor, the manager allegedly diverted money intended for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and provided falsified documents showing that his taxes had been paid. Mitte remained unaware of the problem for several years until the IRS notified him of outstanding taxes, penalties, and interest. [0]

Financial difficulties caused by mismanagement. He should have been wealthy and comfortable after his work. I feel terrible for the guy.
