Committed suicide during and eviction standoff with police. Evicting him over chickens.
Pretty chicken $#!+ if you ask me.
From this story, suicide has not been determined:
And though the incident appears to have been a desperate suicide, which is how some reports categorized it right off the bat, others are worded as to leave room for the potential possibility of foul play.
While it has not yet been determined whether Wordes' death was a suicide or a murder, it is clear that the City of Roswell has a whole lot of explaining to do concerning its role in the escalation of this situation over the past four years.
Thank God the LEOs are safe...and the hell with this poor property owner.
