The October after Craig’s death, Tina told BBC News that he seemed fulfilled, with a new job and a new girlfriend in his life. (According to ET, Craig worked in real estate in California’s San Fernando Valley.)
“I still don’t know what took him to the edge, because at that stage he had said to me that he had never met a woman that he felt that way about,” she said at the time. “He was bringing her to meet me [for] his birthday in August. He had decorated his apartment, that I bought him years ago. He had gotten a new job with a prominent real estate company in California, [which] he was very happy with.”
Tina continued: “I have no idea what pulled him down, except something that followed him with loneliness. I think it was something with being alone. But when I think that, why didn’t he call the new girlfriend that gave him the lift?”
