State police are investigating an apparent suicide after a body was found at Camp Good News in Sandwich — the same Cape Cod camp where U.S. Sen. Scott Brown said he was molested as a boy.
The dead man, who has not yet been publicly identified, apparently took his own life with a gunshot to the head and was found in his car just outside the camp, according to a law enforcement source. A state police spokesman confirmed to the Herald today they are treating the death as a suicide.
The 43-year-old man left a couple of notes indicating he was going to take his own life. The notes indicated that he was “tired of being accused” of molestation and also said goodbyes to loved ones, the source said.
Local and state police descended on the camp earlier this morning, according to the Cape Cod Times. A vehicle with a hearse license plate arrived at the camp at about 11:40 a.m. Officials on the scene are not providing any details.
The Cape Cod Times this morning reported that an employee of Camp Good News who is being investigated for molesting a child there 26 years ago will remain on the job, at least for now, a camp official said yesterday.
The Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe this week launched an investigation into an allegation that a former 10-year-old camper was repeatedly molested at Camp Good News by an employee who still works there, attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who represents the camper, now a 36-year-old man, told the Times.
The camp has been in the news since Brown revealed this winter in his memoir “Against All Odds” that a camp counselor on the Cape molested him in the 1970s. Officials at Camp Good News confirmed the senator had gone there as a kid and they apologized for the attack on him.
O’Keefe’s office began a probe into the allegations in Brown’s book but the investigation has been dropped and Brown has declined to pursue any charges. A spokeswoman for Brown declined to comment today and said the senator would have nothing to say on the matter.
Why send it to me? I’m just an insolent infidel.
Now THAT was a woman our congress critters should take as an example.
Send the video to Hamed Karzai, Al-Jazeera and Gen. Patraeus.
You wake your own a$$ up, I know right where I am and what I am doing.
Surviving behind enemy lines, with no possibility of rescue.
Wow. Who is that woman making the video? I hope she has good security.
Scott Brown has an $8 Million war chest. And he’s practically a democrat.
I wonder if democrats might give him a pass to spend their money going after bigger, more conservative fish in 2012.

We ran like all get out. The cops drove us around all afternoon until we spotted him.
He was the “partner” of former Massachusetts Governor King's
son. As far as I am aware, they both still live happily at the end of my street to this day.
No legal issue came from this, as he was a mental patient on supervised release or something.
They like new Mercedes.
You got that right.
Cardinal Law was not ‘rewarded with a big gig at the Vatican”. The Cardinal was made the pastor of the Cathedral in Rome, by virtue of his office, even before he resigned from his seat in Boston. And he didn’t go to Rome to take that position until over a year after he left Boston, and well after the State’s Attorney General had publicly stated that he had done nothing illegal, and wouldn’t be charged with any crime.
Ah OK; which AG was that, Tom “Unfortunately” Reilly, or Croakley? Reilly I think.
“... I got groped at a college party once...”
You said you would never, ever tell!!
My beautiful daughter was the youngest with 4 older brothers, she didn't have any problems either...just a broken heart once and I was ready to get the fellow that broke her heart...(but she said no mom, just forget it).:O)
amen!!!!

I was a good lookin’ kid. I got groped by both sexes, btw. I would be amazed if no one ever groped you when you were a kid. While it wasn’t the norm and didn’t happen every day, I can think of at least half a dozen instances where some man clearly made improper contact. I won’t bore (or appall) you with all the specifics. One guy was a friend of my fathers who owned a barber shop and my father asked me to go there. I was the only customer one day and he began to not so subtlely hump my shoulder with an erection. (No, I never went back to him. Trust me.)
I remember when I took swimming in college this one fat, ugly woman used to very aggressively paw me up. (We played water polo in class and she was constantly “checking” me.) I would say that is was always the ugly ones, but I also recall when I was in high school ( I commuted by public transportation, growing up in New York) this woman in her early twenties used to catch the bus home around the same time as me. If, as usual, the bus was crowded and we were both standing, she would subtlely nuzzle up next to me, at least as first. After a while it wasn’t subtle. It was kind of a strange relationship. After a while, we used to seek each other out, but she clearly initiated our first contact. Since I was about 15 and she was in her early twenties, I never really pursued it. It was funny but we never talked but we did exchange glances and smiles. And she was drop dead good looking and knew how to dress, sort of resembled Jackie Kennedy. I’m pretty sure other people on the bus noticed. I haven’t thought about her in decades, until you brought this up.
I have sympathy for women. I think maybe one in 20 males gropes boys and one in two males gropes women. I have never “groped” a woman in my life, but I can tell by the way women get nervous in certain situations that it happens a lot. (And I have witnessed some awful behavior by men.) BTW, I certainly have been the “victim” of sexual harassment, by woman, in the workplace but never the perpetrator. Now that I’m 60, not so much any more. I think I managed to deflect woman’s advances pretty deftly.
