At least Budd took the classy way out.....and made for one of the best Action 6 News at Noon broadcasts ever.
I remember the famous news conference where he offed himself. I was at my desk working when some of my colleagues came out of a conference room, either white as a sheet or ready to hurl. My employer kept a TV in that room, and these ladies used to go in there to watch soap operas or talk shows during their lunch hour. I guess whatever they wanted to watch was pre-empted by the "Breaking News" and apparently, they saw the footage of Dwyer blowing his brains out. By the time I got to see the footage on the evening news, it had been edited, so the suicide wasn't shown. But I remember one of my coworkers having nightmares for months after. Obviously, it was not a pretty sight.
