No, he wasn't murdered. He drove to Ft. Marcy park with a hole in his head and traveled 50 yards without leaving any footprints to where he fell over and shot himself again with a pistol no one has been able to trace while leaving no powder burns. We had a murder like that in Nashville a long time ago where a guy shot himself in the back several times.

Darn it! I knew there must have been a good reason it was ruled a suicide. Oh yeah, and thank goodness they were able to discredit that crazy Patrick Knowlton who had no idea what he was talking about - right?
Sounds reasonable to me!!! I saw a comedian do a routine many years ago which began with his reminding the audience, "I don't make this stuff up folks, it comes right out of the newspapers". He then related a story about a coroner in Texas making a finding of suicide in a case of a man who was shot five times in the chest with a SINGLE SHOT 22 caliber rifle. He did a deadpan routine on what is involved in doing this and had me rolling in the floor. He ended by saying, " to shoot yourself five times in the chest with a 22 caliber single shot rifle requires a degree of dedication devoutly to be admired".
