Edward Crawford, Jr., the man whose image became the defining moment in the Ferguson protests, is dead.
Crawford was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and police are trying to determine if it was accidental or suicide.
Crawford's dad told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "I don't believe it was a suicide," adding cops are being "hush-hush" about the investigation.
The photo symbolized the tensions between police and protester in the wake of Michael Brown's death. Cops hurled a tear gas canister at protesters ... Crawford picked it up and hurled it back.
Crawford was 27 and the father of 4 children.

“According to a police summary, Crawford was in the back seat of a car. Two women were in the car with him. The car was heading east on Salisbury, approaching Blair Avenue near Hyde Park, when the gun went off.
The women told police that Crawford had started talking about how distraught he was over “personal matters.” They heard him rummaging for something in the backseat, and the next thing they knew he shot himself in the head.”
It’s always good news when there is one less thug in the country.

Who nitpicks? The important thing is that he is gone.
Irresponsible people breed even more irresponsible people.
Expected tomorrow an announcement from Florida Memorial University. Edward Crawford, Jr., will be awarded, posthumously, a honorary degree, in Petroleum Engineering and Earth Sciences.
His work in the Petroleum field is well known by all.
He ignited fire intensely in all his endeavors!
