Fair enough Paris.
“Has stepped down (or resigned) for personal reasons.”
This one always reeks so strongly of suspicion of some egregious wrongdoing.
I commented to a new friend the other day "I think that cop saw us. We’re now ‘known associates’.

“Local man mauled by dogs?” No thanks.
“Dies after high-speed chase”
“Resigned to spend more time with his family”
