From your link...

....The Star News in Wilmington reported that a friend of Adams called 911 at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday and said he was worried about Adams, who he had not heard from.

“He has been erratic the last few weeks,” the caller said, according to the Star News. “Not erratic dangerous, just been under a lot of stress.”

News of Adams’ death erupted on social media Thursday and Friday, with some people decrying his tweets about race and gender and another saluting him as a fearless conservative voice.

Around Adams’ home near Bayshore, neighbors had few clues to explain the sudden death of a 55-year-old professor who was set to retire in a week with more than $500,000 in settlement money from the university he had battled for two decades....

Actually, a very good article, with a lot more detail and info, on Prof Adams, at your link. Thanks for posting.

The fact that the authorities left the scene so quickly, suggests they don’t think he was murdered (or they don’t care to think so).
A friend of mine lost her dad to suicide some years ago, and his wife insisted that he started coming apart right after getting a prescription for some sort of tranquilizer — became depressed and despondent, went into a complete tailspin and shot himself a few weeks after the first pill.
So, it could be anything — murder, medical or political — or straight-up suicide or even an accident.
Though a guy like Adams, if a suicide, you’d expect he’d leave quite a note.

Half a million dollars sounds at first blush like a lot to live for...unless you have, or you owe, several times that. Not saying Adams did either, just pointing out that a big settlement is no guarantee of happy ever after, and can be entirely irrelevant to one’s life.

Who precisely would pursue the claim? If no one... they get away with it.

Those are all good points, but given the political climate we’re in, the “hired assassin” killing himself recently after he goofed with the Judge.
Phil Haney - remember him?

I used to read Adams articles about a decade ago. He was strong in his beliefs and didn’t really come across as a nutcase.

His recent tweets sound exactly like the Adams who penned those articles I used to read.

Sounds strong, confident, while obnoxious - not nutty.

This doesn’t make sense. Also, I thought he was married. What happened there?

Does anybody have any updates on Mike Adams?
Cause of death? Homicide? “Suicide”?

I can’t find anything updated out there.

A few days old, but...

Officials confirmed the identity of the body as that of Adams and the computer-aided dispatch report noted a “gsw” which is the abbreviation used for gunshot wound. However, the official cause of death has not been confirmed by New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office because the investigation is ongoing.

We’ll understand how really deep the state is by how we’ll never hear about the results of this investigation into Adams’ death.

Yeah, and Vince Foster was a “suicide” too.

“...Deputies entered Adams’ residence at 2:06 p.m. and quickly established that the ‘rest of the house was clear, and then noting ‘gsw’ or gunshot wound. Shortly afterward, CSI and detectives were called, the medical examiner was contacted, and the crime scene log was closed around 4:50 p.m.”

Barely 2 hours of crime scene investigation before the scene was closed (i.e. unsecured). As a former police officer, I find this highly suspect. Most crime scenes involving an unattended death are secured for at least a day, if not longer, until recent contacts can be reached and questioned and a timeline during the event can be established. Once the scene is released, any further evidence is contaminated. It sounds to me like it was just a formality, a little theater to project the appearance of a legitimate investigation.

Very much like Scalia’s unattended death, where the ME couldn’t even bother to come to the scene, and pronounced the death over the phone.

I came across this article written by his friend (and lawyer):

I don’t buy this. Not for a second.

This is a coverup for murder.

Wouldn’t be surprised in the least if he wasn’t assassinated and posed. The insanity of the “investigation”, the lack of a suicide note, the posts earlier that were so positive. Things just don’t add up.
