Self inflicted death

There's a more extensive police report, but this is the basics of what happened

I was aware but didnt want post the details
Surely not cte this young?

 

[Gough]

Another victim of America's insane gun laws, it's just too easy to end it all when you're in a dark place.

Doubt it, I read he'd struggled with mental situations previously. I'd expect this will be more related to mental health than CTE.

I'm sure they'll do an autopsy to confirm of course.

Other than the usual tin-hat idiots who only have one line of thinking, mental health concerns have been the main focus of discussion with him reportedly messaging loved ones prior to the police chase - CTE has been raised, I'm just not sure if we've seen it confirmed in anyone this young

The speculation of how things ended may also mean not getting a clear answer on that

I forgot the not this young
Id be shocked if he had it

Had not heard that

Spoiler: Not to drag this even further down but responding the main points

Paul Wellstone - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Granted wiki has its own issues but a few points resonated

1. Cheney indeed was not invited
2. The remaining family put a lot of people off side with the funeral
3. The ATSB found some mechanical and some pilot issues
4. 23 people also voted against the war and ( as far as I can see were alive long after )

His funeral was more a political rally than a memorial. I remember watching it on TV.
