"He was making a statement IMHO and I don't like the implications."
I would agree with that - otherwise why not use any one of the firearms he was familiar with? What's interesting is that there was no note and no-one close to him seems to understand what that message would be at this point... (Perhaps he assumed the MSM and authorities would automatically "get it" due to the method - or perhaps he wasn't planning on dying...)
I agree. Something is wrong with the spin coming out but that is nothing unusual. They put a lid on the Greek system talking about an alcohol poisoning death last fall.
That's why I was shocked to see the Triangle President on TV this evening being interviewed.
