      Just like the whistleblower who outed the government for selling crack in LA to fund overthrowing governments around the world.

          Weird how these guys always kill themselves instead of going out in a blaze of glory.

          I’m afraid I didn’t read the article you posted but seem to remember that it was also in the back of the head.

            No, supposedly the side of his head. First wasn’t fatal, second was.

          The first went through his cheek and would have been non-fatal.

          Then his wife said she believed it was a suicide, he had been suicidal for a while.

            Which i would also say, if three men showed up at my door to inform me about the very unfortunate suicide of my husband and that they really strongly hope, that i am not also suicidal like him
