Suicide

[natty bumppo 297]

As far as the resources go, probably depends on the manner of death. For example, I would think it would take fewer resources to investigate a death by overdose of sleeping pills of someone with a history of depression who left a note behind than it would a death by firearm of someone with no history of mental illness or financial or other personal problems who left no note. And in the second case, they might be required to presume it is a homicide until they can prove otherwise. Not knowing the details of the neighbor's death, difficult to say why so many officers were called in, but if it were someone close to me and there were the slightest chance it was something other than a suicide, accident, or natural causes, I would sure want them to use as many resources as necessary.

when the conversations have turned to the weather, baseball, etc, and half the LEOs are simply BS'ing for more than 2 hours is this the time when there might be other things to be done?

I agree with you Natty.

All those LEO's should be immediately reassigned from your neighbor's house to the ongoing investigation of Michael Jackson's death.

There hasn't been anywhere near enough CSI forensics applied there.

the ones actually working the scene were doing a job vs the ones taking the time out for a long bs session. wouldn't it be nice to be paid to stand around and bs for a few hours?

Naturally, there is nothing better than chilling at a scene of a suicide.

Also interesting that you had so much time to notice and count the 4 hours. I guess nothing was on the Hunting Channel and nascar was a repeat.

dude ... neighbor get it yet? when cars and officers are out front it's kinda hard to miss them ...

there is a hunting and nascar channel? guess you would know.

guess you weren't present or talking with the investigating officers, neighbors, family members ....so your extensive knowledge of the situation is zero.

I'll give you a hint ... it was a she not a he. See you really know everything don't you.

Oh!

So you got that info from the officers who were investigating.

Oh yeah you're right, the neighbours as "investigators" should have been enough already.

[Ban Hammer 13,645]

*ouch*...brother haza..you are indeed bringing the heat....

I am not negotiable on Guns or health care. Not when people's lives are at stake.

So when I see one of these same clowns come here and act annoyed (inconvenienced basically), being nice is gone out the window I have friends serving federal time for murder, amongst other things, who would be more compassionate about that.

i admire your stance

are you larry craig?

Perhaps one of the neighbours was Angela Lansbury

actually the officer shared this information between a discussion of the Astros and the amount of rain the area has received this month.
