He died by suicide before he could be captured by the police.Weise struggled in school due to frequent relocations, bullying, disruptions in his personal life and truancy.
In May and June 2004, Weise attempted suicide and was briefly hospitalized.He was under treatment for depression, and had been prescribed Prozac as an anti-depressant.
