The widow of Hunter S. Thompson convinced the investigators to reconsider the official conclusion that her husband’s death was a suicide 20 years ago, although she heard him removed the gun with whom he himself shot.
The Bureau of Investigations in Colorado announced that it should revise the official verdict of suicide after the death of journalist Gonzo in 2005 after the request of his widow Anita. However, there are no suggestions about the dishonest game or that someone was still involved.
Thompson was found by his son Huan, at home in Woody-Crick, not far from Aspen, in February 2005, with what was recognized as a selfless wound. He was 67.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently launched an overview of the original investigation of the sheriff of the Pitkin County.
The Sheriff’s office proposed to open an investigation on request from his widow Anita Thompson, the CBI statement said.
Soon after his death, she said that she had heard the “click” of his gun in a telephone call a few minutes before his death. Two years later, she claimed that his death was a “big mistake”, and said that they planned their life together.
CBI added that no new information appeared to the end, and the investigation was carried out exclusively in order to ensure what it is called an “independent perspective”.
“We understand the deep influence of Hunter S. Thompson on this community and beyond,” said Sheriff Michael Baglion. “Attracting an external agency for a new look, we hope to provide a final and transparent review that can offer peace of mind to his family and the public.”
The deadlines were not given how much time is expected, and it is unclear, which prompted him at this exact moment.
Daily Beast contacted the Gonzo Foundation, which his wife began to comment on.
Messages after the death of Thompson showed that Anita, which he married two years ago, talked with him on the phone a few minutes before his death.
Shortly before she hung the phone, she heard a click of his revolver and took him for a rattle of his writing machine.
In an interview with Aspen Daily News in 2005, she said: “I talked to him on the phone, he took off the receiver, and he did it – I heard the pistol clicked.”
In 2007, Anita took part in the signing of her book, which describes their life together in detail, the “Gonzo Path”. During the event, she was asked why Thompson did it.
“I had no idea that he was planning this,” she said, according to HillThe field “He promised me 10 years. We tried to have a child. He deceived me … It was too early. I think it was a big mistake. ”
Thompson was known as the father of Gonzo journalism, plunging into extreme subcultures and the environment to create a brand of chaotic, forced by drug drugs.
His most famous work as the author, fear and hatred in 1971 in Las Vegas, was later turned into cinema with the participation of Johnny Depp in the title role.
It was a depp, who paid for the gun, with which the writer's ashes were fired to the sky in Woody Crick at the star memorial ceremony six months after his death.
Thompson was famous for the risks that he took, both personally and as a writer. For his 1967 book, he built a famous biker gang for many months, drawing a picture of how they lived from the inside.
