Steven Bagby? I can't find anything about him and his encounter with Dave
[edit]My google-fu is failing me, I can't find anything about Steven Dwayne Bagby and his heart-breaking moment with Dave Mirra.
Sounds to me like it's completely bogus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atoma12 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

"died by way of suicide" or "committed suicide"
[edit]The expression I usually hear in American English is "committed suicide." Is "died by way of suicide" more common usage in British English, or a legalistic form?
