Damn, that's kind of buggin'. Weird seeing how much support he had, but something could have been that insurmountable. RIP

there must be something in the air man
black people are committing suicide left and right as of late, the dude from the Tennessee Titans, The guy in my avi and now this?
shyts cray bro.
I ain't one of these cats that think suicide is cowardly, its actually a brave thing to look an eternity of non existence in the eye and straight up say fuk it.
As depressed as I am sometimes I'm too shook to do something like that, and most people I know are as well.
However when u got little kids man, like I said before when that director offed himself, u can't be doing that. U gotta live for THEM if no one else. You owe them that much.
Offing urself when u got a kid that's younger than 18 is worse than being a dead beat dad and never knowing ur seed at all

apparently this is still an open investigation, and no cause of death has officially been determined. everyone needs to stop jumping to conclusions:
also just read in the Daily News that his tax problems seem to have been exaggerated as he paid off more than 1/2 of the $5 million he owed last year
Law enforcement sources said Lighty’s wife of seven years told police he was facing financial woes that include a $5 million debt to the IRS. However, The Associated Press reported that Lighty paid off most of what he owed by selling a Manhattan apartment for $5.6 million in October.

Why are some of y'all in here talkin' like y'all know the reason he offed himself...
It may not be about his wife, or about money... those could be elements of it, but it's probably a combination of various things. Most people commit suicide due to a number of mounting issues. I doubt it was the first time he ever argued with his wife/ex-wife... so I don't know why people are jumpin' to these "how you gon' kill yaself over a chick" conclusions.

I don't know.
but I don't think he off'd himself. Nothing about 'why' he might have done it adds up, but then doing that doesn't add up.
long term solution to a short term problem and I feel like he was smarter than that, and had enough support in his circle
total sidenote: his sister and I went to college together. I might have met him once or twice, but the family is really nice.

The house in the pic def looked like a Riverdale house....Don't know how old the pics are...
RIP tho...Even though I know his kids are going through hell right now
I'm with you, we have to wait til more details come out. It was an "apparent" suicide...only because all the facts havent come in yet. Duke had 5 seeds, according to reports he only owed about half a mil in taxes...if that. He came from poor, those usually dont off themselves...its the ones who were born rich and end up poor. Financial troubles to a person like Lighty means he only has about $7-8 mil in assets. Not saying he didnt do it, but shyt just dont add up.

RIP Lighty...story just doesn't makes sense
Feels like a murder by a certified pro (who could make it look like suicide)
