The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was closing in on Sam fast. Two weeks prior to his required appearance to answer an SEC subpoena, the girlfriend he lived with discovered the suicide note in their house when she went home on her lunch break. She directed the police to his lake house where she guessed he would be. The police discovered a black Chevy Tahoe that was parked in his garage with the engine running. As the police attempted to break down the garage door, Sam calmly walked out of the Tahoe in which he had been reclining and waved to them through the garage window. He signaled for them to go around to the front of the house as he walked into the house through the garage. Seconds later, he ended his life with a 40 caliber handgun. As the authorities secured the scene, the SEC was already calling the lake house, trying to confirm the rumor they had just heard 500 miles away.
