In May 2009, Topaz was arrested by the Israeli police. He is suspected to have paid for a series of attacks on high-ranking TV executives Avi Nir and Shira Margalit and showbiz agent Boaz Ben-Zion. The said three people were beaten by unknown attackers, and sustained serious wounds. It is alleged that when his show was taken off the air, and after multiple rejections from rival channels and newspapers he offered to write guest columns for, Topaz allegedly went on a revenge spree against network executives. It is reported that he attempted to commit suicide in his prison cell at the Abu Kabir detention facility in Tel Aviv. A second suicide attempt was successful, and on August 20th, 2009, Topaz was found dead, hanged in a shower (the only place without video surveillance) in Nizzan detention center, in Ramla.
On the August 20, 2009, at approximately 7 am, a warden discovered Topaz's body in the shower stall of his cell at the Nitzan Detention Center in Ramla. Topaz had hung himself using a cord from an electric kettle.
