Theresa Duncan, known for creating computer games for girls - Chop Suey, Smarty and Zero Zero, committed suicide on July 10th. She had a blog called The Wit of the Stairs, which was a scrapbook of her personal and professional life. A week later, on July 17th, her boyfriend Jeremy Blake, was seen walking naked into the ocean In New York, leaving behind his clothes and a note that mentioned the loss of Theresa as his motive for suicide. Jeremy had his artwork appear in numerous high end museums around the country and had recently signed on with Rockstar Games.
No one knows exactly why they committed these acts, but rumors circulate that they had recently experienced bouts of paranoia. I will not go into much detail on these rumors here, but for more of the story you can visit the artsociety website.
