No, not usually, but bathtub suicides do. (Gallows humor)
More seriously, was the Commerce Dept woman's death during Clinton's 2nd term ever resolved one way or the other? Even more seriously, the tv and print outlets are awfully quiet on this, considering there's a dead guy on the street in Foggy Bottom.
That's what I'm wondering. But would murderers take them off of him first before pushing him?
I recall reading something about a mafia ritual of removing the shoes of a "gangster gone bad" just before he's wacked.
No, not usually. However, someone working in their office alone would take their shoes and jacket off for comfort. Then...maybe too surprised by a sudden entrance of someone(s) else to put them on.
