Curious Death of LA Bishop

The story has interesting phrasing.

David O’Connell, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, was found inside a Hacienda Heights home with a severe gunshot wound to his upper torso and pronounced dead, according to CBS Los Angeles....

...Detectives are investigating the shooting as a suspicious death and have not yet released any information on the suspect or suspects involved, according to the outlet.

“It’s very early in the investigation,” said LASD Homicide Bureau Detective Michael Modica. “We got a lot more steps we have to take to make more determination to what’s happening.”...

Notice that the Bishop was not found in his residence and that it is a 'suspicious' death.  Well, yah!  Any time someone is found dead with a 'severe gunshot wound' it ought to be suspicious.

RIP, Excellency.
