On Tuesday, in a police report obtained by TMZ, it was discovered that Nautica Malone, the man in the video, left a note for his wife, Victoria Elisan, before committing suicide.
The note read, โI apologize. I love you queen. I made a mistake and I donโt think Iโll be able to face you and the babies. I donโt know why I drove through like that. My mental has been f***ed up. I am not a monster. I apologize and I love you forever if I am in critical condition please pull the plug.โ
The note added, โTo all my family and friends I love you and Iโm so sorry. I love my kids and family. Please forgive me.โ
Maloneโs brother, whose name has not been revealed, told police that he was the last person to speak to Nautica, according to TMZ.
During a phone conversation, he recalls Malone asking him to โpull up.โ After speaking on the phone, his concern only grew for his brother so he decided to find out where he was.
What he found was Maloneโs dead body in the same car that was seen in the viral video. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Over the weekend, several people met outside of the coffee shop where Malone exposed himself to hold a vigil. A poster for the gathering read, โNautica Malone was a kind-hearted individual and a beloved fellow gooner, whose memory will be celebrated and never forgotten.โ
The event was also live-streamed and eventually shut down by local police.
