A day after local police said convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs had been murdered in his home, the medical examiner has now said Jacobs actually committed suicide.Jacobs and his ex-girlfriend, a bodybuilder named Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell were found dead of gunshot wounds on Thursday in Jacobs' home in Plano, Texas. Police said both were murdered, but the medical examiner said today that Jacobs died of two self-inflicted gunshot wounds, one to the abdomen and one to the head.
Authorities have not made a ruling on the cause of Earhart-Savell's death.
Multiple media outlets have reported that Jacobs met with NFL officials and gave them the names of players he said bought steroids from him. Those names have not been made public, although Jacobs had said previously that he gave steroids to Matt Lehr (pictured), an offensive lineman who served a four-game suspension last year for a violation of the NFL's policy on steroids and related substances.

Ummm..ok? Since when do suicide victims afflict themselves w/ a shot to the abdomen, then one to the head. This seems like a murder plot gone stupid, and then horribly covered up. And no word on the cause of death for his girlfriend? This seems so shady, on so many different levels.

Looks to me like those PATRIOTS are at it again! WOW, I didn't think they'd add Murder to their lack luster Dynasty! (Sad part is they probably taped it, but Goodell will destroy it and take away next years 7th round pick) I guess O.J. should have been a former Patriot, that way he could be a cheater, beater and Murder and still be loved like those PATS!!! All those steriod taking Pats names are safe for NOW!
I only speak the TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH :)

yeah, suicide. Typical "shoot yourself TWICE in the gut and the head" method. Totally common. Happened a lot to disgraced mobsters back in the day. "Johnny tightlips, yeah he's dead. Suicide. Shot himself in the back of the head three times" LOL

David Jacobs was probably murdered so his could not tell who were his sources of his drug dealing. Sounds like the George Reeves "Superman" kiled himself but some sources claim he was murdered by his former female friend.
