    Murder or Suicide? Your thoughts and reasons?

    For me I used to think murder as there were to many factors pointing to Amanda to be just coincidence.

    There are suspicions but that CBS special showed how many of the scenarios were possible.

    I could definitely believe Gatti being depressed and not in the right mind set with his alcohol abuse and possible brain damage, but it does seem weird though that someone would hang themselves with a purse strap.

    I'm more inclined to believe suicide though.

    It looked dodgy, but I didn't read up on it enough, will be interesting if anyone has any reports on this

    Suicide, and by a lot. When a drunk is being belligerent and hits some random guy with a bottle, and then goes to a hotel and pounds a six pack and is left alone, suicide is not a long shot at all. The alternative involving his tiny wife and a bunch of people who haven't been seen or identified is bull****.

    I believe it's suicide. I think he could have been driven to it as well as his wife did seem dodgy.

    It was a mixture of his painkiller addiction, apparently saying he wanted to kill himself before, the people around him and the beats towards the head.
