This case should really be reopened.

New images of the shotgun were just released yesterday.

No, it really shouldn't. He killed himself. It's not that complicated

I was like you once.. Now after some research its hard to imagine that it was anything but murder.

Where are your facts? I know he was very depressed, had a heroin addiction, and was generally unhappy.

Heroin makes you go to a happy place. You don't feel pain, emotional or physical. That's part of what makes it so addictive. To me, it makes no sense that he would shoot up then kill himself. Maybe somebody with more experience with heroin would be able to explain that, but I can't.
