He was one of those attorneys that came out on tv commercials.

I'm pretty sure I remember him from when I first moved to Dallas in 1991. IIRC he was all over, TV, the radio, billboards and a real "caricature" of the Texas plaintiff's bar. While I disagree with these guys 99% of the time, it's certainly a shame to hear of his death. I hope no foul play involved.
(I'm pretty sure he even made an episode of Mike Judge's Beavis & Butthead, my favorite show of the '90's, as my current Avatar attests...)

Found dead just 2 days after his daughter's(who committed suicide)funeral. Sounds like he followed in her footsteps.

Suicide never ends the pain, it only transfers the pain to someone else.

I remember his commercials. He preceded the "Texas Hammer" Jim Adler.
That is very sad news and very painful for that family.

Ambulance chaser. Obnoxious commercials.
But I pray for anyone who loses a child.

Suicide is a pernanent solution to a temporary problem!
I have worked so many suicides throughout my career, always those that are left behind that bear the heaviest burden!

I know people who worked for him in his local office. Many people get ripped off by insurance companies with minor traffic accidents, "sign here" type stuff. Loncar served a purpose for helping the poor guy keep from getting ripped off. He certainly was not the Perry Mason of the legal world but he did provide a useful service and I feel sorry for his family in their double loss.

Very sad. The family issued a well written statement regarding their pain they are going through right now. Losing 2 family members in 1 week is horrible. My condolences to the family and I hope they can find peace somehow in these tragedies.

My kid sister took her life 42 years ago, at age 24, after her husband was killed on their Motorcycle. My mother never got over it. Beverly was a hoot, I still think of her.
