Very sad, but the demons from this gentleman ran deeper than a watch I suspect.

There must be more to it but even so. Being done out of 5k+ ending up with a worthless piece of tat is enough to place anyone near to the edge. So sad.

Terrible, but highly doubtful that this was the sole reason for his suicide.

There has to be more to it than just the watch scam. It did state that he was currently on anti-depressant medication. It's always sad to hear of anyone committing suicide.

Agree. No sane person ends his life because of a watch.
