Federal Prosecutor Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. was found dead on a Florida beach with apparent head trauma or a gunshot wound.
Good man, according to many articles; beloved and admired by all who knew him.
I am checking regularly for news of the cause of his death, but if you see any news on him, please do post on DU. We need to know wtf happened here - mob hit? Mistaken for someone else, and "accidentally" killed? Suicide (no way, but I'll add it anyway)?
Thanks in advance, DU
