judging by the Herpes on his lip in the picture you linked to, I'll assume his wife cheated on him and gave him teh AIDz.

Jumping off a bridge = Highway to the danger zone.

I think he jumped off a bridge after seeing a recent picture of Kelly McGillis.

He was recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Still no reason to take your own life though.

Maybe he didn't want to put his family through the inevitable and quite painful process of watching someone die with brain cancer. Figured this was an easier go for them and most certainly himself.
