Nola.com runs no story about the alleged suicide of Lenny Friedlander. However the following threads appear on its forum:

>Who killed himself today in Chateau Estates? Anyone know?

>Lenny Friedlander shot himself in the head in his backyard. I don’t think anyone was home.

>What a nice man, I pray that this is an error. I work for a company that services his lawn and landscape and we were out there a few hours ago, everything seemed normal, especially in the back yard. No sign of trama, and people working on the house as usual. I pray for his family I pray that this was a misprint.

>He loved his little girl so much and now she will grow up not knowing what a loving father she had.

>I knew he was sick, but it breaks my heart to hear this. Anyone that knew him would say the same thing; he was such a sweet and loving man. A true gentleman. He will be sadly missed.

>MY CHILDRENS FATHER IS RELATED TO LENNY. IT IS REALLY SAD FOR WHAT THE WHOLE FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYS ARE WITH MOMMIE, KERIN, TONY, MANDY, AND TREY MAY GOD GIVE THE THE STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR LOVED ONES

>We will pray for Lenny and his family. I do not know him personally but know him in passing. He was very friendly. What a shock.
