John_Barleycorn Posted March 11, 2005 A few more details that have gradually emerged, for those who haven't yet seen them. Apparently, he shot himself whilst on the phone to his wife (of half his age), partly out of depression at some writing assignment that he had due. His son phoned the cops and then a while later decided to let off a few rounds from his shotgun (into the air) as a send-off for dad. The cops heard that on their way over and had the son as an initial suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted September 10, 2005 Hunter's last note: "No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
