His family and friends say "Rookie," whose real name was Allen Kruse, was stressed beyond belief by the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. On Thursday, a coroner ruled his sudden, tragic death a suicide. Kruse, 55, a charter boat captain who had been hired by BP to help clean Gulf waterways and render them safe, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday on board one of his own vessels.

I remember when the cape was hit by a spill in 76-77 and how I felt about it. so lets just say this guy deserves a moment from those of us who have been there.

Tragic. Too bad he didn't realize how destructive it will be to his family and friends.
