Still investigating, but likely a suicide.
Behind on rent, was about to get tossed out of his home, lots of debt, liked to gamble a lot (twice that day). All signs point to suicide at this point. Convicted murderer who did time and never adjusted to life outside. DOJ still investigating, but does appear to be suicide.
If he was killed, yes. But at this point it looks like suicide. And he was not accused of the killing, he murdered someone.
Byrd served 26 years in prison for a murder and was released in 2006. My first thought was that it was the murdered personās family who did this to him . However, suicide by hanging has been in the news recently; Robin Williams with a belt and LāWren Scott with a scarf. She was M. Jaggerās partner and fashion designer if the name doesnāt ring a bell.
Yes, suicide by hanging actually is becoming more commonplace as a method. If I was going to off myself, that would not be near the top of my list. But then again, such people are not stable. Some people pick drinking anti-freeze, which is a very painful way to go. Almost like they feel guilty about something and think they need to suffer.
One last thought on suicide. This photo of the Germanwings pilot has been circulated. He is posing in front of the very scenic Golden Gate Bridge (in San Francisco where I live), and on many comment boards itās been suggested he should have just jumped off the bridge into the Pacific as many others have done. People donāt realize that jumpers do occasionally survive and then they really wish they were dead. Dorothy Parker wrote a satirical ode to suicide, and wound up saying āyou might as well liveā because no methods were foolproof.
Iām not so sure about that, but it looks like Eric Holder is trying to encourage them to hold a vote for the woman, already.
But what Iām enjoying the most about this is that ever since the House voted to find him in contempt of Congress, Holder seems to have decided to say, āYou want to play hardball? Iāll show you some hardball!ā
Iād love to see Loretta Lynch confirmed, but Iām also lovinā this more aggressive Eric Holder.
