Bullet to back of head ruled suicide?

How does someone decide to commit suicide by putting a bullet into the back of their head?

Army says it was suicide; family of soldier not so sure
Amy Tirador: Work, life weren't easy, report says

First Sgt. Mickey Tirador’s assignment at the base meant they could share living quarters and spend the holidays together – an arrangement that most military couples would envy.

But Mickey Tirador’s arrival coincided with a decline in Amy Tirador’s temperament.

She started going to work late and leaving early, falling behind on her job of processing intelligence reports for Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division on its last assignment in Iraq. She seemed “different and defeated,” a major who knew her later told Army investigators.

Amy Tirador, 29, was found dead from a gunshot to the back of her head Nov. 4, 2009, in a small room that housed a power generator at the base. More than a year later, the cause of death – suicide or something else – is still the source of dispute between officials and her family.

  2. by the way - since you have to approve these postings, perhaps better not to post - since i found this blog on google and am trying to get more facts before alerting them to the fact that i am highly doubtful of their account of what happened, if you want to disapporve and erase but contact me through the rock.com account, that might be smartest.
    thanks.
