(8,818 posts)29. We don't even really know if someone injured him earlier or if it really was an earlier attempt
Someone could have made the earlier attempt look like suicide, so the final suicide would be less questionable. Remember all the previous weird stuff about his cell mate (a man who had allegedly killed 4 people) - how weird is that. So questions were asked was it his cell mate who injured him or saved him? News never really got to what happened there.
Personally, sounds like a Russia thing to me.
