No doubt that's what prompted him to end his own life, as so many crimes of passion often do. People can't live with themselves when it dawns on them that they'll never be able to look at a "good person" in the mirror anymore.

Anyone that defends him or uses the stupid excuse of head trauma... -
--- Agreed. Head trauma can cause some serious depression and mood swings, but there isn't any evidence that it can make a good man become a killer. And more to the point, there isn't any reason to believe that he suffered from anything at this point.

Use the quote function, Dude.

And I agree with your statements. Head trauma, especially unsubstantiated head trauma (Belcher had never missed a game due to a concussion) doesn't make someone a killer.

As I stated earlier, if head trauma were the reason he murdered his girlfriend and kill himself, why didn't he kill his/her mom, the baby and people at Arrowhead?

It was a crime of passion. Whether or not it was premeditated hasn't been determined and the public may never know the truth.

Domestic murder suicides aren't usually premeditated. Possible, but not nearly as likely as a crime of passion.

Premeditated murder suicides are usually of the V-Tech/Columbine ilk.

As I mentioned earlier, it's yet to be determined whether it was premeditated or not.

For all we know, he could have purchased or borrowed the gun between the time his girlfriend came home from the concert and the time of the murder.

Of course, that's pure speculation but at this point, nothing has been released publicly as to motive.

That would certainly make the "tabloid" aspect of this whole situation more palpable, if he went out to GET a gun. Chilling thought. Either way though, the victim is just as dead. And since the assailant isn't going to have a day in court or a defense, premeditated or not, it really doesn't matter. The act is done. Time for healing.
