    His character in Moneyball is much darker now.

    That is so wrong to take your life. He did not seek help. Here he was at home with his parents and he placed the burden on them.

    I knew someone who isolated himself and did himself in.

    I am truly sorry to hear that. But so far as I know there has been no public reveal about Jeremy. Face it, a lot of shrinks are very far from Hollywood movie ideal.

    I read he fell very hard, laid down, then died. I assume he had a severe concussion and blood clot.
