David Wallace dies in apparent double suicide.

I witnessed an example David Wallace's desperate tendencies while I was briefly employed at WRT Spring 1987. As their only employee then having extensive CAD management and operating experience, I made a presentation to the partners as to how CAD would be utilized once they decided to bring CAD into the office. Wallace did not attend almost all of the presentation--he decided it was much more important to hand render a drawing that morning (something that hadn't been his routine for years) instead. From then on I realized that Wallace was one for making symbolic gestures, albeit ones that were trite and unimaginative.
[A double suicide is the climax of MY PAST, and Heinrich von Kleist, author of MICHAEL KOHLHAAS, etc., became somewhat notorious for seeking someone to commit double suicide with. I even think he eventually succeeded.]
