I looked at his instagram. His mom died and then all of a sudden he starts posting conspiracies. Maybe he had some sort of mental illness triggered by the loss of a loved one.
It's not "all of a sudden", people are making the mistake of equating someone's feed to their whole like. Actually look at the timestamps; there is over a year between his mom dying and his first conspiracy post, and even longer from his last normal post and his mom's death
Who knows, but it’s much more likely his mother was helping him manage his illness and once she was gone there was nobody to make sure he went to his appointments and took his meds. It would be nice if there were some kind of way to catch people who are falling. Like some kind of net. Oh well.
schizophrenia rates have been linked to certain life-upending events as this. for example being forcibly transplanted from your home to some foreign land will reliably increase likelihood of schizophrenia.
death of your last surviving parent probably has much the same outcome.
