Hummm. A suicide huh. Kind of like a Vince Foster suicide? I'm sure the flag burning and the hanging have NOTHING in common.

Maybe not. There's still time for Hollywierd to make up a backstory and give him a starring role.

Assuming this is the same lefty clown who burned the flag, dare we hope that the Bush haters have become so crazed and lunatic that they've now turned into a suicide cult and are going to start offing themselves?? Could life possibly get that good????

The VFW will ceremoniously burn flags that are old and worn out. It is the proper and acceptable way to dispose of such flags.

The mother-ship willed him to do so... lol... if they keep this up there will be none of them left, hopefully they are like lemmings...

Did his hands smell like lighter fluid and smoke?

Poorly written article

[davisfh]

Have you heard the one about the plastic surgeon who
hung himself? And, if so, how many times and how
many years ago?

Attorney General's Warning:
Flag burning may be hazardous to your health.

Promote that detective. I agree it was clearly suicide.

Only a suicidal man would burn the VFWs flag.

Here's hoping nobody saw nothing.

Man found hanged at VFW

Winchester police are investigating an apparent suicide that occurred at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post at 116 Sterling St. this morning.

Police say an unidentified white male in his 30s was discovered hanging from the flag pole at the VFW post at approximately 1 a.m.

The first officer who arrived on the scene cut down the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner David Jacobs.

At 11:08 p.m. Tuesday, police and the Winchester Fire Department had responded to the same location, where an American flag had been lowered and set on fire. Detective James Hall says he suspects that the same person set fire to the flag and later hanged himself on the flag pole.

Foul play is not suspected, according to Hall.

Hall says the man was 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8 and weighed between 140-160 pounds.

Police say the man was not carrying identification. They are asking anyone who might know the man's identity to contact the Winchester Police Department at 745-7403.
