God speed Mr. Harriston. I love his products and am glad he left his mark on this world in a positive way.

Looks like suicide. Tragic.

Sadly with suicide some friends never see any signs. And it can be committed by people who seem perfectly fine, happy, and have everything going for them in their lives.
