1/ Potentially interesting unreported journalism backstory? In 2018 Ohio reporter Kimball Perry (Cincinnati @Enquirer Columbus @DispatchAlerts ) died by self-inflicted gunshot. Some years ago he tried to dirty me up, so I wonder what led him to this? https://www.scribd.com/document/462840631/In-2018-reporter-Kimball-Perry-Cincinnati-Enquirer-Columbus-Dispatch-committed-suicide-by-gunshot-apparently-taking-anti-depressants-per-reports">https://www.scribd.com/document/...

2/ At the time I had to deal with him, a handful of Queen City insiders told me they thought he was on the game, but apparently not @danhornnews at the Enquirer... https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2018/05/17/remembering-kimball-perry-cincinnatis-pit-bull-journalist/619469002/">https://www.cincinnati.com/story/new...

3/ Same goes for @JosephWFenton @NKyTribune https://www.nkytribune.com/2018/05/veteran-newsman-kimball-perry-dies-former-reporter-for-the-post-and-the-enquirer-was-one-of-a-kind/">https://www.nkytribune.com/2018/05/v...

4/ FWIW neither of their tributes mentioned how he died, let alone explore what might have led him to take his own life. IMO trying to answer those questions could make for an interesting article or - depending on how deep those waters - maybe even a podcast, hence this thread.
