    It is certainly plausible.



    A person who keeps their pain secluded in their own minds will eventually be tormented and driven to drastic measures.

    Could have been suicide. But, I have trouble believing the school would say or even imply suicide as a cause of death. It isn't their place to tell people. I would think the person who relayed this news might be passing on rumor or reading too much into the report.

    The initial news report did not mention suicide.

    Were others sources reporting it as such?

    May he RIP and for the sake of his family, may the suicide reports be proven false.

    That doesn't indirectly suggest suicide though.

    Found dead in his car with no evidence of foul play as a statement by the police does suggest suicide.

    it could also suggest natural causes. maybe he started having chest pains and was able to pull over. i think they erred in even saying that in the letter.

    i know that he has had history of heart attacks, he had to leave coaching because of his sickness...and it doesn't make sense to me that he would kill himself

    I don't know, it seems to me that the initial report implied that it could have been a heart attack, stroke or brain aneurysm, something natural, not just suicide.

    If so, that's incredibly irresponsible on the part of the KHS principal.

    The report has been updated and now says,

    "was found dead in his car" ....
    "It did not appear that there were signs of foul play."....
    "a firearm had been found and recovered from Kaiser’s car"

    Translation: he shot himself in the head.
