I read your article regarding the death of Stitt. I would

recommend that your reporter investigate fully the reasons for his

death. I understand he was quite out of control and mysteriously

died. I used to live in that house and my roommate and I had to move

out because of the deplorable condition of the house, specifically

the complete lack of insulation and mould infestation in every part

of the building. I moved out because the mould was unbearable and

the owners refused to acknowledge any problem nor correct it.

As it turns out, the previous tenants contacted us just after we

moved in to warn us of the mould danger. They both got very sick

because of the mould and were forced to leave as well. The owners of

the house have constantly rented this place out without any

consequence because of government bureaucracy: as soon as the renter

moves out of the house, any complaint that was lodged gets closed.

I wouldn't be surprised if this mould infestation was a direct link

to his mental state.
