Bono, an experienced skiier, was ambushed on the slopes by hired hitmen, who beat him to death and then staged a tree collision, Mr Gunderson said.
He called for authorities to dig up Bono's remains and open a homicide investigation.
His claims have reportedly been backed by top forensics experts who fear Nevada authorities were too quick to call the death a skiing accident.
Investigator Bob Fletcher had also confessed he sent evidence of a 10-year study that linked top US government officials to arms and weapons dealers to Bono less than a month before his death, the Globe reported.
"(Bono) was going to make it his No.1 priority... There's no doubt in my mind Sonny was murdered by someone who needed him silenced," Mr Fletcher told the paper.

OK, Sonny Bono was beat to death, rather than having hit a tree.
Why do I still not care?
The high light of his life was singing, "I got you babe" and having possible been within the first 1000 people to have been intimate with Sher.
He didn't change the world. He didn't even come close.
I admit I liked him. I watched the sonny and Cher show in my youth and thought it was cool that this short nerd was standing next to her....It gave me hope for my own pre-pubescent existence.
Still, if he was assassinated, it was a waste of a bullet.

Hey buddy, I recommend that you do a little research before you make such flippant remarks. He was investigating missing money(tax payers money) and arms smuggling before he died. He did come close to something, because he was murdered. Beaten to death. C'mon man.

That's way out of line sir. He was a public servant trying to do good. He has done more than you. I for one am shocked at the blatant disregard for compassion and humanity that you expressed. If he was murdered it was to stop him from doing some good in this world you live in. The truth is very important. Comments like yours are part of the reason the truth gets buried. If everyone thought like you nobody would ever get answers. I hope you take the time to really think about what you say. We as human beings should not let our lives be governed by murderers or hit squads. We are many they are few. Killers should not dictate policy. Ever.

fatal injuries.[edit on 11-10-2009 by dizziedame]
