Answer 2

It was reported  as suicide. They say he jumped off the 15th floor of the Essex House Hotel on Jan 13, 1979. It was reported that he suffered from serious bouts of depression. They say it bothered him that he could never quite make it mainstream, like many others of that day, some with much less talent. He may not have had the STAR LOOK. Although his singing and organ skills were genius.I  also believe that he may have suffered from schitzoprenia which may not have been very well known about back than. Donny Hatjaway was definetly a musical genius who is a major influence on mostly all singers today. He is defenitely my favorite singer. Gone much TOO soon, but his music definetly lives on. RIP Donny Hathaway.

Answer 3

I believe the poor man committed suicide and only he knows why.
