I can confirm from high level sources that Judge Thomas Greenwell committed suicide. I a was at the Nueces County Republican Club meeting tonight, and at the very end a high level official in the Nueces County Republican party announced that he had received text messages that Judge Greenwell committed suicide at the Nueces County Courthouse. This was less than an hour after this article was posted by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times at 7:03 pm CDT. He said that was the reason several courthouse employees had left the meeting early. I decided not to post anything about the cause of death until I saw something in the news media confirming that it was suicide. This was the lead story on Channel 10's newscast at 10 pm., and they said that the investigators said it was a suicide.

Was the judge married?

Thanks for posting. That was what I thought immediately, and I think it’s great that you are trying to stop paranoid rumors.

There has been a lot of that going around lately.

“...high level sources...” That doesn’t work for me.

My first thought was suicide.

He wasn't married or had kids. Doesn't have family in the area. Gay?

Since it seems he was getting his affairs in order, perhaps he was only masquerading as a good judge but was into some shady stuff that was going to come out.
