How convinient.

I'm beginning to think that this may be a case of road-rage. I remember a news story a few years ago about a guy who got into an accident with a woman on a bridge. The guy became so enraged that he chased her to the edge, where out of fear she promptly jumped off. If I remember correctly, they were considering prosecuting the guy for murder.

The problem with the 10 foot high guard rail, if it exists, is that it would make it hard in any scenario for his body to get over the edge. I wonder if someone could confirm any information about the railing.

Really, please do favor us with your reply.

You obviously don't appreciate my subtle sarcasm. I'm probably the biggest "conspiracy kook" out there (for God's sake, I believe Vince Foster and Ron Brown were murdered).

My sarcasm stems from the fact that I've seen so many people who give any credence to organized crime labeled on this forum as "conspiracy kooks" that I've become a bit put off, and have decided to try a bit of verbal akido by parroting them in a "devil's advocate" type of role.

Just heard on WABC radio the latest theory: Officials believe he hit a construction site, got out to look at the damage to his car, and due to "wind draft from a passing truck" fell off the bridge.

I kid you not.

I cross that bridge all the time. There is not a high fence along the sides of the bridge. It would be easy to fall over the side.

[M. Thatcher]

It would be easy to fall over the side.

So how come you're still alive?

[Plutarch]

Let us not forget that halfway (?) across the bridge it becomes: ARKANSAS!!!!

How do they know he wasn't pushed?

BUMP

Tin-foil-hat-time:
1. He never left the hotel alive.
2. The car was towed to the bridge.
3. _______________________________etc.

glad your with us...and that I missed the point of your post. All the Best.

I don't think they know whether or not he was pushed. A radio report that I heard after my first post offered police speculation that he had a minor accident during a collision with the bridge and when he got out of his vehicle to inspect the damage he was blown off the bridge by a passing tractor trailer. Not likely, in my opinion.

[lsee]

Very true. Now they are saying perhaps he had a seizure. Yeah, he was seized and THEN thrown off the bridge. And if the man did have seizures in the past, why is this just coming out NOW? That's like arranging the alibi after you know what the police know, isn't it? This man's death will probably be just another one to add to the "will never be solved" files. It's solved, all right, but not by the good guys.

Glad your with us...and (CORRECTION) sorry I missed the point of your post.

"And if the man did have seizures in the past, why is this just coming out NOW?"

It reminds of Vincent Foster's alleged depression.
