- Police had ruled his death a murder but found no leads, turning to suicide as a possibility
- Investigators scoured the internet and learned of a 2003 CSI episode where someone committed suicide but made it appear to be murder
- They believed that he tied a gun to a helium balloon in hopes that it would ascend over the Atlantic Ocean and disappear
- Officers found string and rubber bands near his body and found the same ones at his home
- Also found were a pair of scissors near his body and police were able to track down purchases for balloons and helium tanks
