SOUR LAKE, Texas - A former federal prosecutor who successfully defended the government in a lawsuit filed by surviving members of the Waco cult was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. A police officer found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford on Tuesday after checking on an abandoned car in the woods near Sour Lake, about 20 miles from Beaumont. The body and a shotgun were about 75 feet away. The wound was apparently self-inflicted, Sheriff Ed Cain said.
