(17,064 posts)and lived in Dallas, it is quite possible they knew each other. I haven't seen any evidence they were friends.
That deM and Oswald were "friends" is only a matter of degree. All evidence indicates Oswald was very difficult to get along with. He didn't appear to have any long-term close friends. So anybody who had some tolerance of him and was willing to talk to him might be considered a "friend". Others might call that an acquaintence. There are several possibile reasons for deM's "friendship.
Yes, deM committed suicide. Of course, some consider this suspicious. However, he suffered from depression...his wife even had him committed to a mental hospital at one point...and he had 4 previous suicide attempts. While its certainly possible his suicide was arranged, his history would indicate a low probability of that.
