For one, no one who met John would ever believe he died by suicide. Episode 9 hints at that implausibility when Senator Perry (Wendy Moniz-Grillo) asks if Jamie believes the reports about his father’s cause of death. But then… everyone just buys in anyway? It doesn’t matter how the scene was staged by Sarah’s hitman. John’s entire identity was forged through toughness, and even in private, he never let on that he was depressed or otherwise wrestling with demons beyond his control. Asking people who knew John — the police, the ranchers, most of Montana — to believe he up and decided to die by his own hand is about as silly as it gets.
