A real tragedy.  I worked him at Wake KH9
I've read that suicide high among astronauts is very high.  I recommend a book called "To Far From Home" that elaborates on the psychology of astronauts going into space and depression from coming back.

I remember reading he committed suicide (at 54).  They "hushed" that up for quite awhile, said he died from a "long term illness".  Turned out later it was self-inflicted stab wounds.

Man, that guy was accomplished:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Brady_Jr.

NĂ˜UN

I had heard he had a very pain full form of arthritis that worsened with age. He definitely carried his pack for a while. Wish he was still around.
