Colonel's death not a suicide
Dr. Wecht is disputing a suicide finding in the death of an Air Force officer who was an apparent mutilation victim and may have been tied up before a car crash. The investigating medical examiner has theorized Shue faked his own abduction and committed suicide in the wreck, which occurred in April 2003.
Shue crashed into trees on Interstate 10, near San Antonio, and rescuers found him with duct tape hanging from his hands and ankles, his nipples cut off, part of his left-pink missing and a large surgical wound on his chest.
The medical examiner suggested Shue used a self-prescribed topical painkiller to numb himself before mutilating himself, but Dr. Wecht said lab tests show the cream wasn’t the source of anesthetic in Shue’s blood.
