He always said that his art was what he loved for. When he lost his sight in the accident, everyone that knew him knew that that the car might have killed him. He wasn’t going to live long without his eyes. They found him dead the next day. At the bottom of the staircase of his apartment building. He apparently hadn’t died after throwing himself down the first flight. He flew himself down eight more before he died from head trauma. He was determined to die. For him, the only world worth living in was the one he could paint. And he was banished from that world as soon as he lost his sight.
