''Before this in 2000, he decided to become what he wanted to be since age 8: politician. A year later, he became gourvenor of Brouwhuis. In 2009 he became depressed after his fellow actor mate (from Jan Van Brabant) Manuel Ribera died of cancer. Gourvenor Montana confirmed this depression and that he dreams of him every night. This worsened because he always had suffered forms of depression since the age of 15. In 2010 he appeared in his last film ''Do You Remember The Radio? ''Months later, he committed suicide by overdosing himself with Morphine, causing a cardiac arrest and he was found dead in his hotelroom around 6:35. The police later determined that the cause of the suicide was due to Ribera's death and very high states of depression. It was also discovered that Montana already suffered since the age of 9 of Major Depressive Disorder. A week later, he was buried on Common Burying Ground And Island Cemetry. He became 34 years old.
