Move over dentists, there’s a new suicide-heavy profession ahead of you. The new profession that causes people to kill themselves is (da da-da daaa!) Bush biographers! Four people who wrote/were writing books investigating things like Dubya being arrested for cocaine charges, the CIA pushing drugs under the Bush family, etc., have committed suicide. Or have had suicide committed for them. [link]
Gary Webb [link] [link]
He managed to shoot himself in the head more than once.
Mark Lombardi [link] [link]
Found dead from suicide. I couldn’t find any specific info. Either way, he made one chart too many.
James Howard (J.H.) Hatfield (Not Hetfield) [link]
Prescription drug overdose.
Danny Casalaro (Casolaro?) [link]
This guy was a real trooper, really balls-to-the-wall about killing himself. He slit his left wrist eight times and his right wrist four times. Then he tied a shoelace around his neck and finished off a beer. Then he cleaned up the mess and tossed some bloody towels behind the sink. Then he hopped back in the tub. He probably had something planned for the plastic garbage bags, but couldn’t figure out what to do with them. (Events not necessarily in that order.)
If you do write a book about what a giant asshole the Bush family is, it’s probably best to publish anonymously. And leave it off your resume.
