Former Houston Oilers linebacker John Grimsley found fatally shot

HOUSTON (AP) - "Former Houston Oilers linebacker John Grimsley was found fatally shot in his suburban Houston home Wednesday, the apparent victim of a gun cleaning accident, an official said.

Fort Bend County Justice of the Peace Joel Clouser said that when Grimsley's wife, who was out of town, was not able to reach her husband Wednesday, she had a neighbor check on him. The neighbor found Grimsley's body on the floor in the dining area.

"It appears it may have been an accident," Clouser said. "He was in the process of cleaning his gun. It appears that he had his dinette table covered with newspapers and he had the tools out to clean the gun with."

Clouser ordered an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. Grimsley was 45."

Psst....

Mr. Clouser? It appears that the cause of death was immediate and overwhelming hot lead injection. Many folks who wish to commit suicide but still allow their families to receive insurance benefits do it in precisely this manner. But by all means, aid and abet the cover-up if it pleases you. After all, we all know how those nasty guns just go off all by themselves.
