I was a friend of Costas since our years in the University and of his fiancee since she was in the elementary school.

When we learned that he had "committed suicide" nothing about the wire tapping scandal was known of course.

At his funeral everybody was saying things like "how he lost his mind". I was telling to everyone that "people do not lose their minds and commit suicide like that", "something else must be behind this death, which is not suicide".

You see this was not a conspiracy theory that was born AFTER the scandal was uncovered. The suicide assumption was just not a plausible scenario in any case.
