This demands further investigation. I'm calling the Palmdale police right now.

This is what I've discovered so far. I just got off the phone with Lt. Brendan Dean, who is in charge of the investigators leading the investigation into #RobertFuller's death. He told me all indicators are that it's a suicide but there is still a coroner's investigation pending

I asked what indicators those were. He said it's still an active investigation so they could not get into all the evidence but noted that there was no indication of "a struggle or fight." Cautioned it's still an active investigation -- they r interviewing family members + (cont.)

seeing if there is surveillance video of any kind. "We go where the evidence takes us...we don't try our cases in the media or public opinion - no offense." "Initial signs in our investigation is that it's a suicide."

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's report is still pending. It could be released as early as today. Anyone can go on their website and find released reports. mec.lacounty.gov
