Those eyes say it all

“We’re not going to give you details of the condition of the body, except to say it was an apparent suicide.”
A medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Police on the scene tell WTOP Kellermann’s body was found on the home’s lower level.
I have sitting here for the past 15 minutes trying to figure out, just what to type about a situation like this. I realize that there are times when I have written some stuff on here, that could be construed as conspiracy and also as hate towards the Democrats; and true I do dislike the Democratic Party’s wholehearted embrace of European socialism in America. However, this situation is nothing more than a personal tragedy.
Like Michelle Malkin, I believe that anyone that would use this tragedy is an excuse to draw a sickening parallel between this and the Vince Foster tragic suicide, and then sit and babble about a rather stupid conspiracy theory; is a heartless and soulless individual. I know, I have been snarky and joked on here about that subject myself. But when it comes to matter such as this, rushing to a conspiracy theory on something such as this; makes everyone that has any sort of Conservative belief system, look like total buffoons. I commend Michelle Malkin for having the wherewithal to stand up and speak out against that sort of nonsense. It’s too bad that the people assisting Malkin run her other Blog; HotAir, were not so inclined to make the same judgement. Some of the comments there, quite frankly, made me want to vomit.
As always when tragedies like this strike, my Prayers go to the families of this man. My God be with them. 🙁
Let’s assume the guy had his reasons but it certainly is tough for the little one.
Yes I sympathize with the family, of course it’s a tragedy. But I can still talk conspiracy. This man was going to talk and certain people couldn’t afford that. His hand was forced to help create this current recession/depression and just like the mafia would do when they’re worried about a weak link, they eliminate the risk. Murder makes the most sense for these people. Making it look like a suicide is the natural choice.
Hung himself my ass.
