Hi All, I received this note from David's sister Elizabeth as well as her permission to share it with all of you.

Dear Jennifer,
I just read the lovely comments left on the HPCT site and am deeply touched. It appears though that everyone has not heard the latest information about his death, and it is vital that we get the word out to everyone. Although initially thought to be a suicide, the investigator has informed us that after further investigation, his death was accidental.
It does not bring him back, but it has given great comfort to all of us. I know there are so many people out there that are kicking themselves for not picking up on something that may have been troubling him and they need to be relieved of that. David was not hurting or sad. He was in a positive, optimistic place in life. He had just landed a great job contract the day before, had a calendar full of plans ahead, had spoken and e-mailed with a couple of friends that morning, talking about his plans for the day, etc. He has a wonderful file folder that he had made up about his personal and professional goals for 2008. Included in the file was a list of the things in his life that he was thankful for. This was not a person who would have taken his own life, and we knew it in our hearts. That's one of the reasons this was such a shock and disbelief to us and everyone else, because it just didn't fit. So please, get the word out to everyone you can so that their minds can be eased.
David was very blessed in his life and he knew and felt it. We hope to see you at the service, which will be a celebration of his life, not a mourning of his death. There will be people performing songs from some of his shows. If there is anyone interested in participating, they may contact Mitchel Sommers at the Community Theatre of Greensboro. Thanks for everything Jennifer.
Elizabeth Hall
