could it have been a case that his soon to be wife was having a last fling with mr. bliss? why was he in bed while his fiancee was with another man downstairs, and carol not with her husband but another man “partying” at wee hours in the morn., maybe bringing to light why he might have shot himself if he even did, and lastly a question i ponder on did she know he hadn’t changed his will prior to his untimely death? what man three days from his wedding is going to kill himself unless love seemed hopeless?..murder i suspect, csi anyone??? ---

Yeah, I spend too much of my time hanging online with forensics people and it’s sounding like suicide to me from all that **judith** and **jumblejim** say. George seems to have too high an opinion of his acting talent and, like too many actors, didn’t–or DID–realize _Superman_ was as good as he could hope to get. He also didn’t foresee that being typecast could lead to a career of fancoms (with groupies!), since they were ten or fifteen years in the future. A man, or character, before his time.
