An Atomic 4 would have been cleaner.

Merrill Apparently Shot Himself On the Bay

Philip Merrill, the prominent publisher and former diplomat
whose body was found floating in the Chesapeake Bay on
Monday, apparently took his own life after struggling with a
heart condition for more than a year, his family said last
night.

Merrill, 72, was found with a small anchor tied around one
or both ankles and what investigators believe was a shotgun
wound to the head, according to a source familiar with the
investigation. The source said Merrill had bought a shotgun
in recent weeks.
