@Snowman374th Look into his life story, it is riddled with strange occurrences including "accidents".

[Snowman374th]

I'm sure glad he's not into the same subjects his father & Uncle & cousin were. I'm sure they would find a way to silenced him as well.

now Uncle Ted, Well I believe he sold his family out some how. He made it to his natural death bed. Fate or coincidence. Something many don't even think about.
