[edit]This article states Timerlake's suicide was caused by his financial problems without mentioning the rumors surrounding his wife's closeness with his best friend John Eaton (described as "being such the good man that he was"). I'm not sure this is balanced.
Regardless, he did not commit suicide--he died of pneumonia. I have added citation to this effect, as well as a general rearrangement of the citation/link portion at the end of the article. I would agree there is bias, but it is actually anti-Eaton rather than the other way around. I will try to get back to this article later, and actually put in the time to put proper citations for all of the material. This edit was simply to remove a factual error.
