Georgia Tech Recruit Bryce Gowdy's Death Ruled a Suicide

The Broward Medical Examiner's Office ruled Tuesday that the death of Georgia Tech football recruit Bryce Gowdy on Monday was a suicide.

According to Brooke Baitinger, Cindy Krischer Goodman and Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Gowdy's mother, Shibbon Winelle, said in a Facebook video message that her son's behavior leading up to his death concerned her.

Winelle said Gowdy was "talking crazy" and "talking in circles," and that he began acting "paranoid." She noted that Gowdy was struggling with the fact that his family was homeless and living out of a car and a hotel room.
