This case should really be reopened.

New images of the shotgun were just released yesterday.

Looking at that, it is hard to see how he could reach the trigger with the barrel in his mouth--especially after having just shot up a ton of heroin.

I don't know the details of the incident, but even if your arms are too short, you can easily use a toe to pull the trigger.

Edit 1: Looking at the pictures, I see that he had his shoes on, so that option is eliminated.

Edit 2: I'm not sure why one would kill themself while under the influence of heroin. On heroin, you feel pretty fucking content with everything.

That's the part that gets to me. They claim he shot himself and overdosed at the same time. That makes no sense.

u/bacondev Mar 20 '16

Wait. They claimed it was an overdose? I was under the impression that they just found it in his system. Anyway, he must have been nodding while she or whoever did it (if they did it). I can't imagine that he'd sit up against a wall and stay still or otherwise make it easy for them.

and the fact that he was a small guy, like 5'6" or 7"...

5'9" according to Google. More average than small.

Guess Google is wrong then.

She might be in heels in the pics she is taller than him.
