Oh no, he's went to heaven to be with the Lord from time to eternity and he was one month shy from turning 69 next month on April 5th. As a young Christian man living in the Caribbean, Dragon Ball Japanese Anime was my favorite cartoon show when I was growing up and they were used to come on in English Dub voice overs edited for syndication USA channels for young children (during my primary school era time when I was small in 2000s and 2010s then) such as Cartoon Network, Nicktoons and WB Kids Saturday Morning Block (Early/Mid 2000s) on WPIX 11 New York and KTLA 5 Los Angeles long before WB amd UPN merged together in 2006 and renamed The CW (CW 4 Kids Saturday Morning block).

Today marks 27 years since The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997. My friend was listening to old Biggie Smalls clean version songs on the radio this morning for 27th anniversary of Biggie Smalls' death. That was happened during my sisters' time when they were young in the 1990s.

Oh no, he's went to heaven. Poor old senior citizen man. 

As I already mentioned it on the article you posted, the person's name was John Barnett, and he was 62 years old. He shot himself to death. 

Rest In Peace John Barnett. Gone but not Forgotten.
