The coroner’s new report does nothing to dispel the notion that Barnett took his own life. Its verdict is that his “cause of death was determined to be: Gunshot Wound of the Head” and that the “manner of death is best deemed” as suicide.
What strange phrasing. Were people really looking for reasons to rule out suicide? What we’re actually looking for is evidence to rule out causes other than suicide.
Also, what’s up with the bizzare incomplete quotations? Is the “as suicide” bit an accurate representation of the quoted source material?
If anything this makes me question gizmodo’s integrity more than dispel any myths.

When the subject is a whistleblower testifying against a massive corporation and was claimed to have said “If anything happens to me, it’s not suicide.” while the apparent cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, yeah. I’d say that would make people suspicious and interested if the medical examiner found anything to indicate it was something other than suicide.

“As suicide” isn’t in quotation marks, so it isn’t a quote. Anything that is in quotation marks is allegedly a direct quote, while anything outside of quotation marks but added for flow, like as suicide, is allegedly paraphrasing.
