Another look at Hunter Thompson's death

The recent slam of articles on Hunter Thompson's death has brought new information and a new question as to its cause. One article by Tim Schmitt, "Death of a Conspiracy - Johnny Gosch, Jeff Gannon, Hunter Thompson and the unraveling of a troubling tale," is truly troubling. It comes from an alternative paper called Pointblank, no less, in Des Moines, Iowa, whose doors were shut and Schmitt fired the day after publication.

What's more, if I found Thompson's suicide hard to believe originally, this article was ringing bells, reporting that Hunter Thompson directed a snuff film involving Satanic, homosexual adults and children. Yet Schmitt admittedly culled this information from the 1994 edition of John DeCamp's The Franklin Cover-Up - Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska, which led me to read the updated 2005 edition.
