My parents talked to the police.

They said they're waiting for the result

of the autopsy

but its 95% certain that

Barry's hung himself.

It's no way.

You don't have to be depressed.

- People just do things for no reason.

- Are you listening to yourself?

We're talking about Barry here.

He wasn't like that, he was a fighter.

- He could have got through anything.

- Stop it Desson.

Why are you even doing this?

You running around pretending

you what? A cop?

He hung himself

I want you to tell my parents everything

about gambling and how he got into it.

If not going to tell

him then I'm going to.
