What? Suicide means suicide as far as I am concerned. If your comment means to imply that the young man ia a drug user, what evidence have you seen to support this contention? If you are not aware of any such evidence or allegation, on what do you base this assumption. He is black? He is an NFL coach's son? he lives in Tampa?

You may be right. What troubles me is the leap you made to get there. If you have information on this that I have not seen then I'm sorry for questioning your comments. In the absence of any such evidence I would wonder what would cause you to assume such?

You're right.

I learned a long time ago to not judge the implication of suicide until all the facts were in.

A friend's sister died, and immediately the word was suicide. After the autopsy, if was revealed that she had died as a result of a reaction to a legitimately prescribed drug.

Whoa, friend..first.I put a question mark next to my comment..and it's a logical question..Young black males are, very sadly, probably 100 times more likely to die from a drug OD than from suicide..and you'd expect, if possible, LE to try to cover up any drug use..It's a family tragedy..it shouldn't be in the media circus spotlight..

I thought from the beginning that it was too early to speculate on what killed the young man. The time of his discovery the location - all lend itself to a wide variety of possibilities including natural causes. The early reports had an LEO saying 'it appeared to be suicide'. It's entirely possible he was misquoted, he mispoke or who knows what.
