Was Isiah Thomas trying to end it all?

Isiah Thomas may not be happy
First they said it was his daughter. Even his son said that. Towing the company line.
Reached Friday evening, Harrison Police Chief David Hall confirmed that a 47-year-old male had been taken from Thomas’s home. He refuted claims that the incident involved Thomas’s daughter.
“I understand that this person claims it was his daughter; he is lying,” Hall said. “It was definitely not his daughter, it was a male. We know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female.”
Hall said that the man was unconscious when officers arrived at the home shortly after midnight.
So now we know it was Isiah and sleeping pills, but was Isiah trying to end it all?
He has had a couple of really tough years and maybe now nothing seems to be working out for him. Isiah is super competitive and needs an outlet for that. Maybe his failures are adding up too fast.
But that is all conjecture and we may never know. There was no suicide note or other indication and that seems strange. Maybe Isiah was just having trouble getting to sleep?

I’m sure it will all come out in a few days. I hate conjecture so we’ll have to wait and see.
Sure…Sure.
How sad! Please update when a conclusive report has been made.
You gotta feel for the guy. He went through tremendous level of stress. I was stressed watching him play his cards.
I hope he gets the help he needs, he’s been through a lot.
