Håkonsund knew Ari Behn well. In recent years he was also his manager.

The last time the two spoke was just before Christmas.

On Christmas day, while Håkonsund himself was on Christmas vacation at his home in Hammerfest, he received a phone call.
– Then I knew that Ari was dead and that he had taken his life. And then it turns into a mixture of shock and sadness.

The manager, who is now editor of the iFinnmark newspaper, started the round of people he knew before on NRK and TV 2.
– All the people with whom I was in contact were very professional. And they handled this in a very respectful way.
But just minutes after the news was released, he tells of the questions he answers today.
– Someone started digging right away. I feel like I’m being provoked only when I talk about it, he says and continues:
– There were editors in the main newspapers who began to ask about the method and the search for details. And it’s the details that we both know the media will never mention. Therefore, it cannot be used at all.
