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.

I gave up on the inter­view and start­ed wor­ry­ing about my life when Hunter Thomp­son squirt­ed two cans of fire starter on the Christ­mas tree he was going to burn in his liv­ing-room fire­place, a few feet away from an unopened wood­en crate of 9‑mm bul­lets. That the tree was far too large to fit into the fire­place mat­tered not a whit to Hunter, who was sport­ing a dime-store wig at the time and resem­bled Tony Perkins in Psy­cho.
