Homicide detectives at the scene now, according to Drudge.

I've never murdered anyone, so I wouldn't know, but do alleged suicides require these guys?

do alleged suicides require these guys?

Yes.

-- but do alleged suicides require these guys? --

Generally, no. But in a high profile case, one needs "whitewash" or substantial official investigation to stifle public imagination.

The entrance of "impartial investigators" is supposed to reduce suspicion.

I’m sure it’s SOP.

Yes.

I've never murdered anyone, so I wouldn't know, but do alleged suicides require these guys?

Yes. Deaths outside of a medical facility when the deceased did not have a medical condition known to cause death are initially investigated with an eye towards foul play. Suicides are particularly investigated, as a homicide can be made to look like a suicide.
