Is it murder or suicide?

Many of us are told our loved completed suicide, when in fact they were actually murdered. Poor police investigation, and the pressure quickly close cases comes into play here. Criminals often use this to set a murder up to appear to be a suicide.

What can families do? Pressure the police, or hire a private investigator. In my case my son was shot in the head in a very strange spot for a suicide. Many people have asked me what difference does it make he is still dead. I matters a great deal in the type of grieving the family goes through. The truth matters, and justice matters. Both suicided, and murder leaves a family with complicated grief, but at least if you know the truth it helps to know who to be angry with.

In our case we can't prove anything, but are satisfied the truth will come out eventually.
