      Barnett was found dead to an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound after officers were sent to his hotel because he missed a deposition hearing… for a lawsuit against Boeing.

      Dead, single gunshot wound, in a car. You think that’s not suspicious at all?

          It sounds like a desperate person who had enough.

          funny that everyone who knew him, didn’t think he was even remotely suicidal. Also as for the ‘why now’ because now it’s got publicity and traction.

          As for the cops ruling out foul play… it’s pretty easy to fake a suicide by gunshot… but yes, I’d buy that the police were in on it in a heartbeat. have you met cops? there’s a strong chance the cops were the ones who took the job.

              From the article linked in my original comment:

              But Barnett’s lawyers said in a statement following his death that his deposition was nearing an end and he appeared to be in good spirits.

              “We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it,” his lawyers, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, said in a statement on March 12.

          Good luck. I’m with you. It’s annoying how retarded most of Lemmy has decided to be about this story based off headlines.
