Why's that? Drowning isn't much fun. At least a gun is fast, assuming you do
it right.

That some mighty big speculating Scotty.

My guess is someone offed him, dumped him, sailed by shore, put the
boat on a open water tack and jumped ship.......but I'm a speculating
too.

I speculate an experienced sailor would rather drown.... then blow his
head off.

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,

WTF............Did he pull the trigger underwater????

Something sounds fishy.
