I agree about the media translating the autopsy results, Taxi. I would prefer to see the documents in their entirety. I haven't seen them yet, but maybe Greta will get ahold of them and post them like she did with Kathleen Savio's.
The whole "motivated" suicide scenario is their attempt to back up the claim they could not find any evidence of a second party. It certainly sounds like overkill with all that went into it, imo. I find it incredibly difficult to believe that a person would go to such lengths to off himself even if he was "motiviated" into making sure he died.
Where did he gain the knowledge to know where to cut and how deep? And if he was on a mixture of pills and wine...how did he stay awake and have the strength to use a steak knife to butcher himself? Wouldn't he have at least been a bit loaded from those? Why does he keep stabbing himself all over and not just stick it directly in his heart to begin with? I find it quite odd he didn't even try the method of directly into the sternum or upper ab area, but they found no cuts there. It sounds like torture to me and not inflicted by a man set on suicide.
A man isn't going to crawl into the bathtub with pillows and a comforter to butcher himself, imo. He is going to hang himself, shoot himself in the head once, or something to that affect. Someone could have drugged him with the wine first, convinced him to write the notes under duress, cut his wrist, gotten him out of the tub for some unknown reason (probaby to add the comforter and pillows), finished the job, staged the scene by leaving no trace of a second party, locked the door, and there you have a "motivated" suicide. Wrapped up and case closed on his death.
