Attorney Died When Gun Went Off as Vehicle Overturned: Official

I don't believe it. The gun just managed to go off and hit him precisely in the head? What kind of gun was it?

There have been plenty of times when people held guns and there wasn't DNA on it. People think that DNA or fingerprints are 100% on surfaces and that you'll find them every time, not true.

Attorney Died When Gun Went Off as Vehicle Overturned: Official

The death of an attorney in Redding in April 2014 was caused when a gun went off after his car rolled over, according to the state’s attorney.

Attorney Gugsa Abraham Dabela was found with a gunshot to the head on April 5, 2014 after a car wreck near his home in Redding.

Police and the medical examiner's office originally said his death was a suicide, but the Connecticut NAACP questioned the circumstances of Dabela’s death, including why his DNA wasn't found on the trigger of a handgun found at the crash site. They also launched an investigation.

Not to mention how many guns have you carried that your finger has never touched the trigger?

I imagine an insurance policy paid for accidental death and not suicide.

The original finding of suicide, IMO, seems more plausible. Knowing the make, type and caliber of the handgun would help though.

I also don't believe it.

I think suicide is the most likely explanation. But it isn't terribly unusual for guns to discharge when dropped. It COULD happen in a crash. If so he was one unlucky guy. DNA and fingerprints may not be present on a gun. But gunshot residue on the hands should be present if he fired the shot. other problem is that it is also not unusual for 1st responders to ruin evidence when responding to something that appears to be a simple car crash.

Family and friends always want to know EXACTLY what happened in order to gain closure. Unlike on TV that doesn't always happen. No one will ever be able to say with 100% certainty what happened here.
