I've heard a number of reporters (one on WFAN) say that Lidle was an avid pilot who was scheduled to be flying with his instructor yesterday in a plane he had just recently purchased. He was doing some practicing before leaving today to start a series of short trips as he made his way to his home in California. He put his wife and young son (6 y.o., I think) on a commercial flight yesterday for California before taking off himself - apparently he crashed while they were still in the air, and the airline arranged for a clergyman to meet them when they landed to break the news.
Doesn't sound at all like suicide to me - just a very sad story for everone involved. I feel awful for that kid.
