Quote:Johnnie Carl, 57, the conductor of the Crystal Cathedral Orchestra committed suicide Friday at the landmark glass and steel church after a nine-hour standoff that began just before congregants prepared for a Christmas pageant.
Carl reportedly had an argument with an employee Thursday evening. He then returned to his office, fired four shots and barricaded himself in a bathroom. Police attempted to talk to him, however, Carl shot himself to death.
According to authorities, Carl had grappled with depression and was hospitalized for depression weeks before taking his life. Carl's wife Linda said her husband stopped taking a drug that helped him control manic depression because he was concerned about the possibility it might harm his kidneys. Three weeks ago Carl was admitted to the University of California, Irvine, Medical Center when his condition worsened. He was at the medical center for about 5 days. But his wife said she didn't think he was entirely stabilized.
Carl conducted at the cathedral for nearly 30 years and also worked with stars such as Celine Dion, John Tesh and Lee Greenwood.

I agree with you. Working with the three of them would be enough to make anybody consider suicide.
The aliens told him to do it.
Celine is thier leader.
well, he's definitely alienated now
Wow...what a sympathetic bunch you people are.
No wonder Dys kicked the shyt out of me while I was unconscious.
Probably was laughing while he did it.
If Richard Widmark were still alive...he'd probably be able to do the part with no trouble.
Well, I was wearing my boots at the time and well, what the hell.
Sudda known!
But I haven't been thinking too clearly since I got the shyt kicked outta me in New York last month.
(Yeah, yeah...I know. You guys think I haven't been thinking too clearly from a lot further back than that....but that would be a cheap shot!)
nah, the cheap shot was when I gave you the black eye with just the toe of my boot while chatting with the cop. ( I coulda used my heel)
Who is John Tesh???
That is a very sad story.
Look up the word "insipid" in the dictionary. I think his picture is right next to it.
Oh - like Olivia Newton John???
I had something smirky to add but the suicide sobered me up...RIP
Yeah I hear that pan but I gots no couth.
nah dude...I had to think long and hard about your post. I guess me being a tortured musician and such...there for the grace of you go I, kinda thing.
