Fatal Scott Bloomquist plane crash in Hawkins County ruled a suicide

[MRM]

There was one piece of information in that report that would have left no doubt it was suicide. But that piece could have burned up in the fire. Either way, it's a sad ending to someone that so many admired.

same thoughts. i, too, was wrong. to those celebrating being right, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back.

I hope people aren’t celebrating being right. It’s a tragic ending either way.

I didn't know Scott personally, only thru interviews, videos and the like. Some may consider the stance I took after the announcement of his death as "denial", but I don't, just looking at the evidence available to me and trying to see "ALL" possible reasons. If that's denial to some, that's fine with me, but I disagree. I did build him 1 set of shocks he ran in Florida in 2000 during the time when he was considering teaming up with GVS racing and was making lots of changes in his team. That was as close as I got to knowing him, although I knew others who'd actually worked for him at different times. I felt like many of his decisions prior to the incident could be looked at in different ways, many immediately went for suicide, but I didn't. I'm generally a positive and hopeful person and even though I disagreed with many of Scott's lifestyle choices over the years, watching his life and career unravel wasn't something I celebrated, especially his death. I kept hoping he'd right the ship of his life/career, but he never seemed to regain his forward drive after the motorcycle accident. After his death I hoped it wasn't suicide, mainly for his family, especially his daughter, but its now official and I won't argue the point further. I was wrong...

The investigation findings were made public June 5th. As I posted in the thread about the notice not to run tributes to him, I wonder if these findings had anything to do with the timing of that announcement. If so, I can understand their decision on that.
