Saw this in the paper. Never saw anything like this before. I got nothing I could add to the story. Motorcyclist hits deer, then kills himself Sunday, July 18, 2010 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A Westmoreland County man struck a deer while on his motorcycle and then fatally shot himself in the head, according to state police. William M. Amos, 47, of Export, died Friday around 1 a.m. on Route 819 in Salem. Authorities initially thought Mr. Amos, who was not wearing a helmet, died from crash-related injuries. But police discovered a pistol at the scene, and an autopsy later confirmed that Mr. Amos died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound of the head, according to a state police news release today. The troopers investigating the case were not available for comment. Investigators were awaiting toxicology results before closing the case.

More than once I've had other riders (no one I've actually ridden with) who have stated plainly that if they were to be in an accident, happened to be carrying, and found themselves suddenly without feeling in and use of their legs, well... Always sounded more than a little off-base to me, but I guess I'd still have things to live for even if I became paraplegic as a result of a motorcycle accident--others not so much, apparently. | ||

Maybe he could not accept killing Bambi. | ||

Or maybe without a helmet on, the impact made him delusional. I had a helmet on 2 years ago, and they still had to strap me to the bed repeatedly while I was in shock-trauma. At least, that's what I'm told...I don't remember anything for nearly 2 weeks. | ||

I'm starting to think maybe he didn't shoot himself...Bambi could have been packing! Sunday the store was he crashed and died of head injuries due to the lack of a helmet. Today the paper had the he shot himself. | ||

As long as we are speculating, it could be someone might have done it for him. | ||

Was he carrying a loaded gun that went off during the accident? | ||

Sunday the store was he crashed and died of head injuries due to the lack of a helmet. Today the paper had the he shot himself. Well, the gunshot wound to the head would equal head injuries... | ||

Maybe he was off to do it anyway and the deer just helped him pick a spot. | ||
