Some very sad news has come out about online gambling portal owner Kenneth Weitzner. According to reports, the EOG.com owner and his wife were both found dead in a double suicide late Wednesday night.  The couple's son released a long statement on the EOG.com website on Sunday night expressing his grief. It reads in part:

I just want to come on EOG to confirm the loss. Ken and my mother have passed away. They took their own lives sometime late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning with sleeping pills carbon monoxide...

I want to let all of you know that he loved EOG and the posters...it was his passion. He mention this in a note he left for me and wanted to say he was sorry for leaving you all...mostly Mo, Blondie, Ball, and Jimmy who worked so hard to keep EOG rolling. I am at his desk...crying my eyes out as I type..

They left no reason for what they did thou I have my own ideas....I am just very sad and my heart is broken...I lost my best friend of the last 40+ years and the greatest mom a fellas could have....my heart is truely broken. If there is a heaven I know my mom is there planting flowers and waiting on her family to arrive one day....Ken's family...by brother, our wives and their heartbroken grandchildren will celebrate their lives on Tuesday.

I know that there has been a lot of rumors flying around and I must admit I was worried this past week that something horrible had happened and my gut was right. I just wanted to come on and share with the folks at EOG what is the only truth in this terrible day....THE SHRINK and my mother are dead..

Thanks for all the good times EOGers...!!

It is unclear why the couple would commit suicide but it is rumored that Weitzner owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling debts, specifically $500,000 to Matchbook.com.

No official police report has been released and the local media is looking further into the matter but there is a funeral planned for the couple Tuesday, April 13^th. For more information you can visit the Oman Funeral Home & Crematory website.

Our condolences go out to all those who knew the couple, especially their family.
