The autopsy showed the single gunshot wound to Scott’s left temple. (Scott was left-handed.) It also showed probable post-mortem wounds to Scott’s chin that were likely suffered after his face-first fall into the Chicago River. And it showed swelling around Scott’s right eye, possibly from skull fractures, sources said.

(snip)

Because Scott landed in water, some evidence on his body was contaminated. Medical Examiner’s office investigators did not inspect the death scene because police didn’t notify them before Scott’s body was removed from the river, Jones said.

The bodies are starting to stack up in the Windy City:

Of course nobody in ChiTown knows how to fake a suicide.

I thought it was more along the lines of "practice makes perfect."

I still suspect Condit’s buddies in the Hell’s Angels for offing the girl.

[Tijeras_Slim]

He was involved somehow, despite the illegal they have put away.

[penelopesire]

hmmmmmm..very interesting.

A suicide text message???

That’s reminiscent of a typed, unsigned note in a certain briefcase of one of the suicide victims from the last Democrat Administration.

Chicago police are still trying to find out who owned the .380 caliber pistol found under Scott’s body at the death scene.>>>>>>>>>>>>><p.

I don;t understand! Seriusly. If Scott fell in the river, how was there a side arem found “Under” his body. ( On the bottom of the river?).

Police were also checking cameras across the river from where he died, but Weis said the cameras with the best view of the scene were not working.

“Cameras that we believe would have given us excellent footage were inoperable,” Weis said. “So we’re forced to use other cameras which will not give us the view of the actual location as we were hoping for, but it should at hopefully put his car being moved and hopefully we can see him driving the car and see if he is actually alone.”

Scott’s family members have told investigators that the school board chief owned a gun, a law enforcement source said.

Is it legal to own a handgun in Chicago?

[STARWISE]

NO!

The Mr and (Brand new) Mrs Scott went to Copenhagen to lonbby for the Olympics????

Well, well, well.

As for a note, they might want to check Fort Marcy Park, or a stray table in the White House, or a state trooper office in Arkansas.

Or the trunk of a car junked in the Arkansas woods full of documents from the Rose Law Firm.
