Gila County Sheriff’s Office has released information about the investigation into the April 28 death and vehicle fire on Forest Service Road 177 at Gold Creek.
A search warrant was obtained for the victim’s apartment in Tempe. Detectives found a note dated the day before the fire telling how and why the victim was going to end his own life. He was distraught over not being able to sell a computer program he had designed and worked on for a long time.
In the note he said he initially planned to burn his apartment but decided against that for the safety of the other apartment residents and firemen. He then planned to go north on Highway 87 and set fire to his vehicle from the inside.
Detectives found the remains of a flare pistol and evidence of a burnt flare in the debris of the burned vehicle.
