(4,274 posts)heard anything? Nobody saw the guy sitting in the truck missing part of his head until the lawyers called for a wellness check? Nobody staying at the motel was out and about?
I note that according to this article studying suicides the handgun only remained in the hand in just over 25% of cases. More than enough cause for more questions. Also they would appear to be calling this "impulsive" and that is also atypical as the second link shows. Last comment I have is the idea the general idea of suicides leaving a "note/letter/reason". The 3rd link is to an article about a study indicating that less than 50% of the time is there any such thing.
So we have a case where the gun remaining in the hand is far less likely than more likely, the occurrence is less likely than more likely, but a "note" was left which is less likely than more likely. Especially the idea of the note going with impulsivity. What we have is way more than enough to say there need to be more questions and more answers given all of the circumstances. We can add reasons to be suspicious to include Boeing now claiming they have no idea who in the factory worked on the door, don't know where the video is and the guy in charge of the maintenance is now "medically unavailable to speak to investigators" according to his lawyers.
Suicide is a terrible thing and I will never forget coming to work one day years ago to find that a co-worker who had tried to give me some of his belongings a couple of days before had taken his life that morning. We were both so young. That day I began to learn that sometimes when people are talking you need to shut up, slow down and read between the lines. I, like most people in life, wish I knew then what I know now.
Let's ask questions and look for answers.
