Like others, I've never heard a case where this type of suicide was carried out. Scorching a car frequently involves covering up evidence.

There was one situation I heard of where an old man was found dead in his burning home and they were able to determine that the gunshot to his head was self-inflicted and that he just used the fire to cover it up...they discovered he was dying of cancer. Also found dead in the fire was his pet bird and an autopsey revealed that his bird also had terminal cancer. SAD!! Please, investigate Joe's case, LE. I have a feeling his case wasn't a suicide as he didn't seem depressed from what loved ones said.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620187614931458206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766322694484209381.post-30844247972859223572011-12-01T22:37:39.168-06:002011-12-01T22:37:39.168-06:00Foul play isn't suspected ....

My first instincts, sadly is that foul play is what caused this. A fire hot enough to burn up the car and leave only metal suggests to me that someone was eliminating evidence. But, I'm sure the authorities have evidence to the contrary......I hope. From what others have posted and knowing the nature of this kid, I'd say something screwy is going on in the mid west.
