I read somewhere that he might have been adversely affected by the Parkinson's medication which one possible side effect was that it causes suicidal ideation. Which is sadly a side effect of quite a few medications.
But it's possible that he might have been depressed as a result of the Parkinson's itself. I have also seen that Parkinson's patients are more likely to be unable to handle depression.
I don't think anyone will know exactly why.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
