Conspiracy Theorists coming out of the woodwork...

Hunter S. Thompson's corpse is cooling off nicely (minus the few CCs of cranial tissue still in the Coroner's Lab) and the spinning is starting: From that paragon of journalistic reputability: Prison Planet

Hunter Thompson was working on WTC collapse story before mysterious sudden death, warned he'd be 'suicided'
Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He sounded scared. It wasn't always easy to understand what he said, particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something he really wanted you to understand, you did. He'd been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out to stop him publishing it: "They're gonna make it look like suicide," he said. "I know how these bastards think . . ." Hunter S. Thompson ... was indeed working on such a story. Now check out this February 25 Associated Press story about Thompson's death. Sounds a lot like a professional hit with a silencer: "I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver down and he did it. I heard the clicking of the gun," Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in Friday's editions. She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column... Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said. (Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly different: "I did not hear any bang," she told Kass. She added that Thompson's son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass' report.) Mack White sums up the questions well: Thompson's family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough to pain to kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told) while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important thing he would ever write) (?)...

And your sources are? And, over the telephone, how would a silenced weapon sound? Compared to someone who shot themselves with the gun pressed against their flesh? And these people complain about FOX NEWS? And you know what? If I were Doctor Hunter Stockton Thompson and if I was planning to pull a Hemmingway and take myself out, I would have a bit of fun with these conspiracy mokes and make some calls before I pulled the trigger... Leave a neat corpse but a very messy plot-line. Finis Mmmmmbbbbwwaaahaaahaahhhaaaaa...
