A top Missouri Republican spokesman killed himself over the weekend just four weeks after his boss, the frontrunner to nab the GOP nomination for governor, also committed suicide.
Spence Jackson served as media director for state auditor Tom Schweich, who shot himself on Feb. 26 at his Clayton, Mo., home.
Jackson, 44, took a sick day Friday and was found dead Sunday at his Jefferson City apartment, sources told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It’s unclear how he died.

how do they know it was a suicide? 23 shots through the back of the head silly. It's obvious.

Three months ago he launched an anti corruption campaign and then he killed himself? Not sure I believe that.

from Missourinet:
Schweich committed suicide February 26 at his home in Clayton. Friends and colleagues, including Jackson, said Schweich was angry about an alleged “whispering campaign” among other Republicans saying Schweich was Jewish, that Schweich believed was an effort to hurt him in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. Jackson was one of those in the Republican party who accused Missouri GOP Chairman John Hancock of being behind that effort, and called for his resignation.

"If it's unclear, then how do they know it was a suicide?"Suicide note, with the signature witnessed and notarized? (This looks at least as suspicious as Harry Reid's exercise "accidents".)
