Yes, except there is no mention of the OTHER events going on in his life, and it is unreasonable to assume that it was the CHURCH's fault that this guy was too cowardly to live his life.
Perhaps he found out that his child had been murdered, or that his wife had cheated on him, that day.
Or, how about this; He was rich, right ? Family members try to whack their relatives all the time, for insurance policies. Wouldn't be too hard to strangle the guy, and then hang him from a rafter.
If the story is even true, that is.
