There's a quick way to put an end to the banter from those ignorant enough to believe this suicide was fabricated.
Oh so now you presume to call people ignorant?
What part of my post did you not understand?
An educated person requires FACTS before they so quickly and blindly accept the claims made by another.
I also see that you are a relative newbie here in terms of number of posts and time spent on this board. You registered June 24th, 2002, so this is your SECOND day.
If you KNEW the precedence established of other individuals coming to this board and making claims of suicide, murder , or being a policemen and investigating a pedophile, then you would know to not believe everything you see or hear.
I made it very clear in my previous post that I do NOT deny that this happened, I simply require facts before wholeheartedly believing it.
I also said:
This is NOT to attempt to discredit any individuals, or to be heartless and perceived as someone with no compassion. I simply require facts and am apprehensive to offer support to something that seems questionable to say the least.
So do not try to paint a picture that I am uncaring or ignorant. I am simply cautious.
However, at least you got this part right:
Newspapers aren't the be-all and end-all of the information highway.
Now THAT is true. There ARE SEVERAL other methods of determining if this story is fact or not, and considering the routes I have taken, I have found NOTHING which gives merit to the validity of this story.
It may in fact be true, but I have yet to see proof showing otherwise.

It's easier for you to sit on your butts and question the motives of the several long-time posters here who have in various ways authenticated this story, isn't it?
Do not presume to categorize my statement as a person who is judging another. What part of I require facts to a claim before I unwaveringly support it do you people not grasp? I have said it VERY clearly once already.. this story MAY be true. I simply have YET to see PROOF of that.
Capiesce?
