Lee Thompson Young -- No Suicide Note

Lee Thompson Young's suicide is a dark mystery ... because law enforcement sources tell TMZ he did NOT leave a suicide note.

TMZ broke the story ... Young was found dead in his North Hollywood apartment Monday. We're told he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Our sources say Young did have a diary ... but we're told none of the entries reveal why he would have taken his life ... at least at first glance.

The case is a real mystery because everyone we've spoken with in Young's life tells us he had no apparent serious life issues.
