The article was entirely clear - he did not die, he faked his own suicide.
I'm on my phone so it wasn't easy for me to see that.
It was crystal clear. He faked his suicide. He's a massive jerk.
Sincerely, it was kind of funny, specially taking into account the dark mood that sets in in the beginning of the article.
It probably wasn't very funny to most of the people who thought their good friend had died, especially those who've dealt with actual suicide in their lives.
