Man found in Lady Bird Lake was teacher, FBI target
Police said that victim, who taught at a Southwest Austin middle school, may have committed suicide.
Austin police said Thursday that they are leaning toward a ruling of suicide in the death of a middle school teacher and activist whose body was found Wednesday in Lady Bird Lake with his hands and legs bound and tape over his eyes.
Police identified Riad Hamad, 55, at a news conference Thursday and said the binding of his limbs and the placement of the tape was consistent with Hamad having done it himself.

What I can't figure out though, in all these cases, is if they're trying to make it look like a suicide, why not make it look at least a bit convincing? I mean, sleeping tablets or a pipe from the exhaust into the car or even jumping in a lake tied to a rock is much easier to fake and doesn't raise questions. Just how incompetent are they?

Did you read the article before preparing such a rampant reponse?
It says, 'Police said that they think Hamad walked from his car to the lake, based on evidence they gathered at the scene.
"The car was found on the south shoreline with no signs of mysterious activity," Chacon said. '
I am not saying it was a suicide, I just dont want misinformation spreading.
