11. I've always had one question

When this first came up decades ago, there was a claim that the blood from the shotgun wound was partially coagulated, which would mean he was already dead when the shotgun blast occurred. The million dollar question is, "Is this true?". If it is, it wasn't a suicide.

Further, this runs with the fact that if he had a lethal dose of heroin in him, he would have been immediately rendered unconscious and could not have then put the needle back up in its box and shot himself.

So, the details just don't really add up to a suicide when you look at them in their totality.
