I've heard that Townley had several concussions and didn't take the concussion protocol seriously until towards the end of his career. He likely was suffering from CTE, leading to insanity from brain damage, as CTE has driven several atheletes, notably football players, to do some crazy shit. Supposedly during his racing career he didn't even remember hitting Spencer Gallager after a race until he was reminded a few weeks later, among other incidents of memory lapses.

Pretty depressing stuff. Like DaleTona said, sources are emerging talking about mental illness as a driving factor, especially with the whole memory stuff. I feel like the more evidence we get from investigators, the more gruesome the details will be.
Truly devastating.
