CBS 60 Minutes: "Suicide
or Homicide?"
Wrongful death investigation
of
Captain Gordon Hess
The CID Investigation maintains that
the
death was a suicide. The AFIP maintains that their review indicates
Suicide.
However, there were various opinions and reviews and information which
controverted the Army's CID Investigation's conclusion of suicide. All of
the
independent Investigators and Forensic Pathologists that reviewed this
case
were in agreement with the consultants hired by the family that the death
of
National Guard Captain Gordon Hess was more consistent with HOMICIDE then
SUICIDE.
This was a classic EQUIVOVAL DEATH INVESTIGATION in
which
either party could not with any degree of medical certainty determine the
cause
of death. This tragic death should have been classified as
"Undetermined".

Homicide Investigation for TEXAS RANGERS at DPS in Austin, Texas,
February 26 through March 2, 2001 with Dr. Henry Lee, Ph. D., Detective
First
Grade Ray Pierce, and Dr. Richard Ovens, Psy. D.
This is the first
time
The Texas Rangers invited an outside contractor to present Homicide School
exclusively for the Rangers.
Wrongful Death
Consultation
Captain Gordon Hess was found with multiple
stab
wounds to his body. He had suffered 20 stab wounds to the chest. Two had
penetrated his heart and four had penetrated his lungs. There were a
total of
20 stab wounds to his chest, and six stab wounds to his neck. The U.S.
Army
declared the death of Captain Gordon Hess a suicide. The family of Gordon
Hess
requested an independent review and analysis of his death. Based on the
preliminary review of the autopsy report and materials available for
review, I
find that the circumstances surrounding Captain Gordon Hess's death are
higly
suspicious and NOT consistent with the Military's finding of suicide. The
consultant is collaborating with Dr. Dominick J. DiMaio, former Chief
Medical
Examiner for the City of New York as well as other colleagues in the
field of
forensic pathology and homicide investigation.
In my professional opinion, the death of Gordon Hess is
more
consistent with HOMICIDE than SUICIDE. However, I reserve the right to
amend my
opinions in the event additional evidentiary material becomes
available.
