A Colorado review confirms Hunter S. Thompson's 2005 death was a suicide, aligning with original findings.

A Colorado review has confirmed that journalist Hunter S. Thompson's 2005 death was a suicide, which is consistent with the original finding. An investigation, prompted by concerns from his widow, Anita Thompson, discovered no evidence that his body had been moved or staged. Officials used Thompson's depression, chronic pain, and admiration for Ernest Hemingway as context. Despite the destruction of most physical evidence, a bullet fragment and recovered photographs supported the suicide theory. The review reaffirmed the initial determination, bringing Thompson's family and friends some closure.
