And you lot assume the only questions about it amount to CT speculation.
I'm not defending the patently absurd lawsuit or those who brought it.
I am saying a Federal Prosecutor dies in what can only be described as very suspicious circumstances on a beach in south Florida. He doesn't leave a note or other communication to loved ones or friends and that's a suicide? It may be all they can officially prove but only the foolish among us would accept this as conclusive evidence.
The citation doesn't explain anything. The headline asserts that the wound was self inflicted but no comment is made about proof.
A previous article from the same sources about his funeral raised questions.
Hollywood police and the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office had no new information Friday, saying Whisenant’s death is an open investigation.
Federal officials are not commenting either. Typically however, if there was any suspicion that the death of a federal prosecutor was related to a criminal case they were handling or that they had been targeted for retaliation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI would be heavily involved in the probe.
Whisenant’s body was found in the surf by a beachgoer in Hollywood near Magnolia Terrace shortly before 6:30 a.m. on May 24. His death may have been caused by a gunshot wound to his head or another type of trauma, Hollywood police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said at the time.
He was 37.
Whisenant graduated from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2004 and was admitted to the Florida Bar the same year. Whisenant, who was assigned to the Miami office of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, was hired as a federal prosecutor a few months ago. Before that, he spent nearly 10 years at a private law firm in Miami.
Whisenant lived in Miramar with his wife and three children.

The Miami Herald had a different take on the death one month after the body was found.

What does his family say if anything?
Which cases was he working on at the time? Who was overseeing his activities?
Any evidence of a difficult personal life?
Any evidence of inter-office strife?
Were there any ghosts from his previous career coming back to haunt his seemingly bright future?
How did he get to that location and when?
I don't know what the answers are at this point and the citation for the OP does nothing useful to explain the finding of suicide.
Everything I read about the man who died argues that he had much to live for and was not the kind to make a desperate decision.
