Colorado authorities have officially confirmed that Hunter S. Thompson's 2005 death by gunshot was indeed a result of suicide. The investigation, conducted by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has been re-examined after Thompson's wife Anita expressed new concerns about the original findings.
Anita Thompson's statement thanking the CBI for their work and stating that it would allow her and others to "move forward with a clean conscience" underscores the importance of closure in this highly publicized case. Her words suggest that she is grateful for the thoroughness of the investigation, which has now been confirmed as correct.
Hunter S. Thompson's death occurred at his Aspen-area home in February 2005, when he was 67 years old. The circumstances surrounding his passing have been extensively documented, with many high-profile figures attending a private ceremony where his remains were fired from a cannon at his request.
Sheriff Michael Buglione acknowledged the value of conducting an independent review, stating that it would provide reassurance and clarity to those involved in Thompson's life. The CBI has confirmed their original findings, which now serve as conclusive evidence.
While Thompson's legacy continues to captivate readers through his iconic works such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, this investigation marks a poignant reminder of the impact that individual lives can have on our collective understanding of journalism and its role in society.

Anyway, I think it's great that Anita Thompson is finally getting some closure, you know? It's been a long road for her and Hunter's fans. I mean, who wouldn't want to know the truth about how he ended up?
I remember seeing some wild stuff online back in the day. It's crazy how people can get so caught up in speculation and rumors.
Now that we've got some clarity, I hope Anita can start moving forward and finding peace.
. I feel bad for his wife Anita, she's been through so much already, but at least now she can have closure and move forward 
. The fact that the CBI re-examined the case and came to the same conclusion is a good thing, it shows they're committed to getting to the truth 
.
. But yeah, this investigation is more about bringing closure to his loved ones than anything else 
.
I mean, what was really going on here? Was it really a straightforward case of suicide or what? 
also, shouldn't we be asking more about Anita's role in all this? Is she just trying to cover her own family's history or something? 
. finally some closure tho, gotta respect that. like, it's crazy how some1 as iconic as Hunter S Thompson can leave behind such a big void in our lives. his writing still gives me LIFE 
. RIP Hunter, ur legacy lives on 
.
just thought it was weird how long it took for them to confirm it was indeed a suicide...i mean dont get me wrong, closure is important but i feel like this was kinda inevitable lol. anita thompsons statement does sound pretty gracious though 
. His legacy lives on, but it's also a reminder that even the most iconic figures can leave behind complex emotions and unanswered questions... what does it mean to be a true original, anyway? 
i mean, don't get me wrong, he was a legend and all but Anita Thompson's statement about getting closure makes sense, you know? she's finally able to move on without any more questions 
anyway, it's crazy to think about how much his life has been dramatized over the years... like, we'll always remember him as that wild journalist dude, but what was he really like in real life? 
he was definitely a character, but his writing still holds up today. his story is a reminder that even the most iconic figures can struggle with their demons 
. This investigation just goes to show that even 20+ yrs later, a thorough look can make all the difference 
to Sheriff Michael Buglione for his diligence & Anita Thompson for her courage 
. Now we can move forward with a clean conscience

. And I'm sure Hunter would've wanted her to do just that 
. I feel bad for her, she must've been stuck with a lot of questions & no answers all these years. It's good that she's getting some closure now. The fact that the investigation has been re-examined is a testament to how important accuracy is in these types of cases 
.
his legacy lives on through his writing, but it's also crazy to think about how much drama & controversy surrounded his life... I mean, who needs that kind of attention when you're trying to write some damn good books? 
. I'm not buying it, man.
