first of all; it is very rare for a Black Man to kill himself and especially a shot in the head; He had lot's of problems but if the suicide had questions it should've been investigated. he was abusive to the wife and just lost his job with Motown so he was home getting on her nerves. I'm not saying it was her; I'm saying it should've been investigated; but who am I kidding; they were killing us back then too; so I'm sure they didn't give a dam.
