On Monday Jan. 23. 2017, actor Jay Bowdy
committed suicide while streaming on Facebook Live. It is unclear what prompted
the 34 year old up-and-coming actor to take his life, some people claim it
could be depression. In a letter, one the Bowdy's friends wrote:
“I feel like I have failed you as a
friend and for that I am truly sorry. In the time we spent together, there were
some true heart to hearts,” she wrote. "I’m not one to express much, but I
feel the need to because my heart is so heavy. My open letter to you. Though I
haven’t known you long, we built a relationship that was strong. I’m sitting
here looking through our last text messages and trying to figure out where I
went wrong, what I missed, what I could have done differently to have been there
for you in your time of need.”
Bowdy was born in San Antonio Texas and was
the first person to earn a college degree on his father's side. He
also has a Masters degree.
After his death, people kept sharing his
Facebook live until they were asked to stop sharing it. Others reported the
video to Facebook and the one on his page has since been taken down. The video
was u on his page for over 8 hours before it was taken down y Facebook.

married to his wife when he was 25. He had 2 kids from a previous relationship,
and 4 children with his wife.

One of his last posts on
Instagram:
This has been a tough year however I've accomplished so much in my
1st year here in #Hollywood #LosAngeles.
I filmed a International #Film #GoingVertical in #Russia, I co-starred in #MurderBook on #NationalTV,
filmed a movie called #Flochness,
booked commercials, photo shoots, red carpet premiere of the movie #Prepper, and more. I also
built some fantastic relationships. Met and did @iamtwinkiebyrd workshop
that helped me realize what's important, what's more important, and why the
hell I thought some things were even worth importance. Then met my big brother @jaugustrichards who
is just as real as it comes. I couldn't ask for anybody better to help me
through my path to manifest greatness as an Actor. Met one of the greatest
businessmen in @scott_layne who
took me under his wing instantly with @thehollywoodmen. Also
made brothers from my time in Russia, signed with the phenomenal Sean, my
manager, and awesome Tim, my commercial agent. Last but not least....I became #SAG! Again, it has been a
very tough year however I am blessed! I look forward to the things that is next
and thank everyone who has followed, liked, and honestly supported me through
this journey. I'm all the way in for #2017 #Mind #Body #Soul.
