"A review of the 2005 shooting death of the journalist Hunter S Thompson has confirmed authorities' original finding that his death was a suicide, Colorado investigators said on Friday. The review by the Colorado bureau of investigation (CBI) was announced in September after Thompson's wife, Anita Thompson, contacted authorities with new concerns and potential information regarding the investigation into Thompson's death, the agency said in a news release."
"In a statement included in the announcement, she thanked the bureau for its kind and thorough work. This allows all of us who loved Hunter to move forward with a clean conscience, she said. Thompson, who popularized a first-person form of gonzo journalism in articles and books such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, died at his Aspen-area home in February 2005. He was 67."
