Looks like they do Arkancides in NYC, too

OK, I spotted this article on Fox News and was a bit curious, so I clicked it.

It's about a New York surgeon who was found dead in his home. Apparently, he was sued last year by an NFL player who blames him for ruining his career, and he previously operated on Bono after the singer had a bad bicycle accident.

Then right at the end we get this little gem:

Lorich was discovered with a knife in his chest and police sources said the death appeared to be a suicide.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Who commits suicide by stabbing himself in the chest? This is either insanely lazy police work, or else that NFL guy found a brilliant way to get away with murder.

Many similar "suicides" we've heard of over the years.... shooting yourself twice in the head (Gary Webb), killing yourself with a nail gun link

No, I don't believe these are all just freak suicide events. Not at all

I had a friend who died of two bullet wounds to the chest.
It was immediately ruled a suicide.
I say B.S. in all capitals.

Was the individual Japanese? They would commit suicide with a sword then a knife?

Singer-songwriter Elliott Smith suicided in the same manner.

Not just Japanese,but a Samurai art called seppuku,they carried a knife on them specifically for the purpose. It was seen as an honorable way for a warrior to commit suicide in feudal Japan.

The arkancide problem went world wide in the 90's.

It's staggering how many have happened in, say, haiti.

I suspect a few dozen a year happen here in the USA.

One of the United States’ leading surgeons, who exposed misappropriation of funds by the Clinton Foundation in Haiti, has been found dead after being stabbed in the torso. Dr. Dean Lorich was found on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment by his 11-year-old daughter with a knife still stuck in his chest at around 1 pm on Monday.

How long can Ray Lewis keep getting away with this?

This is also the surgeon that worked on Bono three years ago.

Bono Undergoes Five Hours of Surgery after Bike Fall

These showed that Bono had suffered numerous serious injuries, including a “facial fracture involving the orbit of his eye”

"after World War II, the act of seppuku has become so rare as to be shocking."

John Lang ruled suicide by stabbing.

This is the guy who predicted his death and had been under surveillance by local PD.

Hmmm, another death connected to Haiti. That UN guy whose neck was crushed by a barbel was also trying to expose the theft of Haiti relief funds by the Clinton Foundation.
