    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.

          You said everyone. Then cited his lawyers. Shouldn’t they be in the same category as the cops?
