MSNBC Analyst Found Dead From Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

Prominent attorney and frequent MSNBC legal analyst John “Jay” Fahy was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot near his office in Rutherford, N.J on Wednesday afternoon.

Fahy was a frequent guest on MSNBC, most recently appearing to discuss George Zimmerman‘s now-concluded second-degree murder trial. His body was discovered under a railroad bridge, little more than 300 yards from his office. He was discovered by two juveniles.

Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli confirmed the death, which he said was “the result of a single gunshot wound to the head, fired with a handgun.”

A close associate of Fahy’s expressed bewilderment at his colleague’s death: “I feel like I just lost my brother,” the unidentified person told the Cliffview Pilot. “Everybody’s in tears right now.”

1. Andrew Kirell (author of the piece) says the wound was self-inflicted.

No authority quoted in the text of the piece, however, says the wound was self-inflicted.

Maybe it was, or maybe it wasn't, but this piece (and particularly its headline) left me less-than-satisfied.

5. Jerry DeMarco at cliffviewpilot.com also says it was a suicide.

But, like Kirell, DeMarco doesn't quote any authority for the proposition that Fahy committed suicide. Both authors mention that police say there is "no evidence of foul play," but also mention that an investigation into the circumstances of the incident is ongoing.

This seems strange to me.

2. Condolences to those who loved him.

I am not familiar with him. Suicide is so tragic. Those left behind have rough days ahead.

3. Hard to say, but maybe he was depressed.

Even successful people who have everything on the surface can be haunted by demons of their minds, those demons too often end up claiming their lives.

He likely was depressed.
