Damn, ".. Webb was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, which the coroner's office judged a suicide." Two self inflicted shots to the head sounds intense.
That made me double-take. That people accept it at face-value as a suicide seems a little bizarre to me, given the subject. "Oh, well, the coroner's office said so."
I kind of glossed over that when I read it...but two gunshots to the head? What are the chances that from that range he missed so badly that he was able to pull the trigger again?
You would be surprised - many people try to shoot themselves in the head and fail. Talk to a homicide cop or forensics investigator sometime - they often get called to scene like this because it looks like there was a shootout, except that when they analyse the blood spatter etc., it turns out the person shot themselves, then lurched around trying to pick up the gun they dropped to finish it off. I'm not making light of this - some of the stories I've heard about this phenomenon are quite horrific.
