However, a friend of the family told FOX 5 that the 33-year-old was having a rough time, personally.

"Nick was under a lot of stress. The family overall was under a lot of stress dealing with his sister-in-law's recent death," said Tawheedah Adbullah. "And knowing how hard it is on his wife we know we recently had to wrap our arms around the family because of that. We are thinking that might be causing a lot of stress for him as well."

FOX 5 was also told that his wife is expecting the couple's second child.

The circumstances of Bacchuber's death are still unknown as Atlanta officials told FOX 5 they're waiting for the results of an autopsy.
