I don't know any more than the rest of you, but given his age (forty-something) you have to consider the distinct possibiliy of suicide. Maybe he was inspired by the recent suicide of a fellow Swede, the acclaimed director of the excellent Rodriguez documentary, who shocked the world a few weeks ago by taking his own life. Now this is pure speculation on my part. Maybe he got hit by a bus like Stiv Bators, or died of incipient cancer like Frank Zappa. I don't know. All I know is that ,as an original member of this group who was here before the Great Schism ocurred, I observed that "Lama" once seemed so full of life. I'm as curious as anybody as to what the heck befell him.
