Gary Webb

On December 10, 2004, he was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head. Sacramento County coroner Robert Lyons determined that it was suicide. Webb's ex-wife, Sue Bell, said that Webb had been depressed for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. [8] Despite Webb's death being recorded as a suicide by the coroner, there is still controversy as to whether it was a suicide or assassination. Many have pointed to the fact that Webb was shot not once, but twice to the face, which is extremely odd in cases of suicide.

Yes, that does seem odd.
