the highest ranking American serviceman, at least in the so called prison camp
no, he was brutally murdered
Bob Crane did not commit suicide. His head was caved in with a video camera tripod while he was in bed, presumably, asleep. This happened at a time when he was doing dinner theater in Arizona. It is believed that a male friend of his who liked hanging around with Crane did the deed as Crane was seeking to end their friendship. Crane was a chick magnet and very interested in video taping his encounters with women. This friend of Crane's used to pick up the leftovers that Crane didn't sleep with and thus the reason for his being angry when Crane wanted to end the friendship.
