Oscar Winning Director Dead at 36 Yrs Old

This is very sad and the start of a nice mystery. Malik Bendjelloul who won an Oscar last year for Best Documentary for "Searching for Sugar Man" was found dead in Sweden yesterday. He was just 36 yrs old. The Swedish authorities say there is no signs of foul play and did not release cause of death. Well, 36 yrs old just don't drop dead of nothing. I am thinking that he committed suicide. So sad. Not only did his film win an Oscar for best documentary, but it won a boat load of other awards from all over the globe. So this should have put him on the road to easy street. However if that was a 1 hit wonder, then he may have been depressed that he couldn't come up with another great idea for a new film?? Oh well, rest in peace Malik.
