All coming out in the Wash?

Hmmm. Hate to sound cynical but did you hear about the death of the newly-elected mayor of a town in Louisiana who was found dead a couple of days before he was due to take office? The body of Gerald Washington was found on the weekend, shot once in the chest. But was it the suicide the coroner claims, or does it have more to do with that Wash (as Gerald was known) was the first black mayor-elect in the mainly white town? Wash's family has demanded a state police inquiry into his death.
