suicide? With an anchor tied around his ankle(s)?

If he had an anchor tied around his ankle(s), how did he float?

If he tied the anchor around his ankle(s) first, he sunk and how did he shoot himself?

If he shot himself first, how did he tie an anchor around his ankle(s)?

Make up my mind.

I'd guess somebody is scared poopless about whoever did this and is playing it real safe.

Reminds me of another 'suicide' from the LBJ years. (Bobby Baker case?)
The victim "shot himself" several times with a lever action rifle. I remember an interview where a local LEO demonstrated how this was accomplished and, when asked if he had any doubts as to whether this was a suicide, replied, "No dopubts whatever."

I agree, it sounds a bit weird. I suppose you could shoot yourself and then throw yourself overboard, but with an anchor tied to you? Hmmmm...

I agree. Suicide does not smell right.

A shotgun blast to the head should be sufficient.

why tie an anchor to your legs.

the x-files were more probable than this.

Inquiring minds. The anchor part makes no sense.

The old fellow probably didn't want his family and friends to know he killed himself, or have a mess to clean up.

Speculation: he tied an anchor to his leg, sat on the edge of the boat with the anchor in his lap and leaned backwards to fall over. As he went over he pulled the trigger.

As someone else said, he should have used a bigger anchor.

/speculation

I know what you're thinking, was it one shotgun blast or two?

Frankly in all the excitement I've lost count, myself.

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?
