The guy probably had a lot of problems that he didn't talk about and had no one to talk about them with as his mother was ill. Things come out under pressure when there are unresolved long term family issues. No one will know how this guy felt as he's gone but you can see from his actions what must have been going on beneath the surface. When news first came out about this it said on the News he'd been the victim of a bullying campaign at the place he worked. But it will never be known 100% for sure just what made him snap. There are probably many components going way back into early years of his life - It's a sorry situation.
