Perhaps it was an accident then. Maybe he was just going to handle the gun as he talked to her. He could have had it loaded and ready for when he acutally was going to commit suicide, but didn't mean to do it at that very minute.

What an a**hole. What a mean thing to do, and with a child in the house no less. Here, since I am going to put myself out of my misery, I think I shall do it in such a way as to cause as much pain and suffering to others as I possibly can.

Hate to say it, but the world is better off without people like that.

Let's see here . . . HST was 67. New widow is 32. HMMMMMM. (I'm sure it was a love match.)

This is just what I would think a selfish loser like Thompson would do.

I can't understand why some Freepers are still intent on honoring this jerk.

The fact he shot himself in the mouth kinda makes that very unlikely.

Hah! Yup, an unbalanced looney bone-head like Thompson probably had a house full of phone set shaped like revolvers!

He probably picked up the wrong item after taking a hit of crystal-meth and pressed the wrong 'talk' button.

After listening to what the guy had to say about Bush

He was an equal-opportunity offender who hated all politicians. You should hear what he had to say about Clinton.

"...Muffled bang..."

Means he screwed the muzzle right onto his noggin or put it in his mouth. The exploding gasses from the cartridge added to the effect of the projectile making the mess he made even greater.

Sad for the family, that's about it.

Thompson's biographer E Jean Carroll described his routine: "3pm rise. 3.05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills. 3.45 cocaine. 3.50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill. 4.15 cocaine. 4.54 cocaine. 5.05 cocaine... 9pm starts snorting cocaine seriously. 10pm drops acid. 11pm Chartreuse, cocaine, grass. 11.30 cocaine, etc, etc... 12.05 to 6am Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies.

Well, at least he didn't jump off the Staten Island Ferry, ala Spaulding Gray. I mean, think of all the man-hours FDNY had to put in on that one...

How this guy even made it to 67 is beyond me. With his genes he probably would have lived to 120 if he took care of himself.
