A former federal prosecutor who defended the U.S. government in a lawsuit filed by surviving Branch Davidians was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

A police officer checking on an abandoned vehicle found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday. . . .

He said the officer found the body and a shotgun about 75 feet from the car. Cain said it appears the gunshot wound to the head was self-inflicted. . .

Cain said Bradford had some business affairs and other things, including a note, left behind that indicated that he planned to kill himself. Cain did not know what was in the note.


TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: Not enough information has been released yet to determine whether this was suicide or a murder set to look like one. Either way, there are questions of motive here that should be examined.
