Are you thinking it's still a possible suicide? Because without a weapon near the body that might be difficult to understand.Im discussing it because its my opinion that its still possible. Im here to discuss my opinion, not persuade or dissuade anyone of theirs.
IMO LE pulled up, door is open and a man is dead. There are no other vehicles, no one else is around, the house at first glance appeared undisturbed and so the natural conclusion would be suicide. My grandfather died many years ago and the scene was very bloody and they initially called it in as a suicide. It wasn't, but that was how it was initially called in because he was alone, the scene was very bloody and no one else was at the home. Years before another man had died in town, the initial call was a suicide. He'd been shot in his home, but because he had initially called 911 and they arrived within minutes, the scene was bloody, the initial reaction was suicide. It's not as uncommon as you would think.
But unless James shot through the door, shot his wife, killed himself and then Jayme grabbed the gun and ran out the door, there's little chance this is a suicide. Additionally, a medical examiner will be able to tell trajectory of bullets and whether or not it would be possible to have been a self inflicted wound.
I don't think they look at every situation as a suicide, but a quiet house, a dead person and no one seemingly around, I could see where that would be the initial reaction.
