Tree hugging went awry. This tragedy could have been avoided had the swamp been filled in and turned into an airport as was the original plan. Now look what happened. Great Swamp Watershed Advisory Board - you have mud on your hands! <<sarcasm>>

Suicide is seems unlikely. The body had a bullet hole in the stomach. Given the remote location and Florida plates at the scene, I'd guess it was more like murder.

Chess, I agree. I believe a bullet to the stomach results in a long painful death.
