Friends of the deceased say they did not notice any signs of depression in him
The police in the USA are investigating the mysterious suicide of 35-year-old model Jeff Thomas, who was the lover of the famous billionaire and one of the founders of the PayPal payment system Peter Thiel, reports The Intercept.
The young man ended his life on March 8 in Miami, Florida, but the reasons and circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear to this day.
Jeff Thomas started dating Thiel in 2020 and broke up with him shortly before he passed away. In one of his interviews, he claimed that he tried to influence the political views of Thiel, who is a Republican and supported Donald Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Friends of the deceased say they did not notice any signs of depression in him. One of his close friends said that Thomas invited her to a party that was supposed to take place in May.
At the same time, the model’s brother says that he “struggled with addiction and psychological problems” and this ultimately “brought him to a tragic end.”
Peter Thiel declined to comment on the incident to the media, but Florida State Police officials said they were in contact with the billionaire.
