I notice you have no comment about the lack of blood on his gun hand or anywhere else near by.




I have no comment because I have no way of knowing that's Foster. All I see is a hand, a shirt sleeve and what appears to be suit trowsers. That could be anybody.

Also, there's the fact that the body was discovered with an entry wound at the roof of the mouth. Meaning that the exit wound, if any, would be near the top of the head. The overwhelming majority of blood, brains and bone exiting the body, therefore, would be traveling away from the hand. While a minimal amount of blood and brain will discharge from the entry wound, it would have to travel the distance of the mouth and the gun before coming to rest on the hand. I don't think there'd be sufficient force behind the discharge to actually make it to the hand, let alone the sleeve. I base this on the numerous Autopsy reports I've read and literally thousands of Crime Scene photos I've seen.

You should always post your sources, though, particularly where there's a direct quote, or serious allegation. It's hard to take the post seriously otherwise.

Again, what's more likely: That a depressed man commits suicide or that a zealot should lie to protect his enemies?
