If indeed he committed suicide, it’d be another devastating blow to South Africa’s entertainment industry, which has witnessed multiple suicides already.
Not long ago, actor Patrick Shai had killed himself after allegedly battling depression following his attack on Cassper Nyovest. Also, the rapper Riky Rick had taken his own life earlier this February.
