Ex Marine Hopkins not type to commit suicide, trial told
Witnesses and family testified ex Marine James R. Hopkins was not the type to end his life. Attorney Anthony Bryan criticized the coroner's investigation into Hopkins death on May 17 by an overdose of alcohol and depressants, saying stomach content testing was omitted and the cause remains scientifically unresolved. Mrs. Hopkins said her husband was in excellent spirits and opposed pills, while she suggested possible murder or Agent Orange connections, though experts found no link to death years after exposure.
