As the search for suspected fireman-rapist and former Women's Wear Daily and Village Voice reporter Peter Braunstein becomes intolerably interminable (and alluringly alliterative), his mother Angele Braunstein has come forward to offer her theory that her son may have killed himself. In October 2004, Braunstein overdosed from a mixture of beer and Prozac, and his mother believes this was a potential suicide attempt. Ms. Braunstein also noted that her son had anger problems, low self-esteem, and to be "a fragile man who could respond to the ongoing public scrutiny by killing himself."

Journalist-cum-criminals. Such a thin-skinned bunch.
