Ruthann Clawson and Michael Bryan
At the end, he wanted to be at peace.

Michael Bryan was supposed to spend the evening of Feb. 26 with his close friend Ruthann Clawson, and she texted him during the day about their plans, she tells Entertainment Tonight.

But at 9:23 p.m., Clawson got this reply: “There is a letter for you on my bed.” She asked him who wrote it and tried to call, but got no answer – so she went to his apartment. Bryan’s roommate let her in.

She found and read the letter and then looked over the balcony. She saw her friend lying there, motionless.
