Channel 19 said a family friend & attorney said it wasn't clear if Linville’s death was intentional or an accident. He said they are looking into the possibility he may have been getting a long gun out of his truck, & it may have fired & hit him in the chest. Is it possible to pick up a loaded "long gun", hold it pointing at your chest & it accidentally fire?

If he had life insurance, it won't pay if a death is ruled a suicide. Hopefully, for the family's sake, if it was suicide, it will be kept quiet & won't be ruled as such. Very sad for the family.
