I'm reposting one of the messages below. I don't know who wrote it.
It reads like a news article or perhaps a press release.
BTW, Judge Mathis is my favorite TV judge now that Mills Lane is off
the air. Most of the other judges are way too cranky and full of
themselves, but Mathis is pretty easy-going.

----------------------
Brendan Moran age 37 plunged to his death from the balcony of his 24
th floor Chicago condo on Dec. 19 2002. His death was ruled a suicide
but his family feels it may have been an accident.
Brendan was not depressed according to his family and friends. He was
buying a larger condo and was in the process of completing some new
songs as he wrote for both country and pop music. He did volunteer
work reading for the blind. Brendan had 6 brothers and sisters and had
enjoyed a huge family gathering on Thanksgiving where his family says
he was happy and full of life and postive about the future. There was
no suicide note left.
There were no signs of forced etry to his home and no signs of foul
play however his heartbroken family is having a new inquest and
autopsy done hoping the ruling will be ann accidental fall rather than
suicide. Another building resident did see him fall. Detives state
that on days prior to his death Brendan was "talking crazy, saying
people were out to get him...and he reported being worried he was
about to lose his job."
Judge Greg Mathis says there was no reason for Brendan to be concerned
about his job and that it was secure. The judge did note that as
Christmas approached Brendan got"a little down over the fact he was
divorced, which I found odd, since his divorce was several years ago.
But other than that he was his cheery self.Brendan was one of the
cheeriest and happiest persons I knew. He was the fellow who
entertained the audience during breaks by playing his guitar and
singing. I can't imagine suicide."
Brendan had worked for the Judge Greg Mathis show for 4 years and the
shows producer says he will be greatly missed as he was an important
member of the show.

about a month ago. It was a regular obit with the funeral
information. No cause of death was given and I thought it odd that it
received zero press. I mean a non-celebrity falling from the 24th
floor of a building would get some mention in the news, much less a
person on a nationally televised program. I added him to Week In
Review for Jan. 18.
I didn't know he killed himself until now, but I guess that makes
sense in retrospect.

Yes, that is who he is. I'm surprised I can't even find a photo of him
online. The tribute on the show was very touching.

I don't know why ( not that he talked much on the show ), but we liked
a lot this guy.
Thanks Marty,
