Was he accused of something?
Is the other person's identity relevant?
Did he misunderstood something/ somebody and then commited suicide?

Was he waiting for something to happen?
If so, was he waiting for someone to 'warning'/tell him about it?

You guys are doing good- keep up the questions!

Was the DP a man and the other person a woman?
Did he hear something and since he wasn't able to see misunderstood the situation?
You said he wasn't always blind. Is the reason for him going blind relevant?
HA! A slight bit of investigative work led me to dictionary.com to look up "sawn".
Was it his cane that had been sawn?
And therefore his cane was shorter, he thought he was growing, and the prospect of buying a whole new wardrobe drove him over the edge?
No
No
Yes!!!!!
No...but you're getting close....

So . . . the cane was shorter than before?
He misunderstood the cane was shorter, and thought he was taller?
Or . . . he misunderstood the cane was shorter and thought things in his apartment had moved?
Is the method of suicide relevant?
Did only a short amount of time pass between the misunderstanding and the suicide (e.g. within an hour)?
Or a lot of time (e.g. more than a week)?
Are the cane being shorter and the suicide directly linked (e.g. The cane was shorter, he thought something else, so he committed suicide)?
Yes
Yes
No
No
Not relevant but probably
same as above except probably not
YES!

OH!!!! I got it! I got it!
(Actually I had heard this one before, but a LONG TIME AGO, so I didn't remember it until exactly this moment. I won't give it away.)
Was he a short-statured person?
If so, was his short stature related to his livelihood?
Good job, lol. Yah, don't give it away.
Yes
Definitely!

Okay... here goes:
He was in the circus as the world's smallest man (who happened also to be blind). When his "friend" sawed bits of his cane away, he thought he was growing and therefore would be out of a job (as he had no other marketable skills), so he killed himself.
Am I close? Did I miss anything?
Yay!!!!!!! You got it. exactly, congrats!
