Hunter S Thompson's death to be reviewed 20 years on

Twenty years after Hunter S. Thompson's death, which was initially ruled a suicide, his family has requested a review of the case. The renowned writer and journalist, known for his pioneering "Gonzo journalism" style, died in 2005 at his home in Aspen, Colorado. Despite the original ruling of suicide, the family has asked authorities to re-examine the circumstances surrounding Thompson's death, although no new evidence of foul play has emerged. The review will be conducted by investigators, who will take a fresh look at the case. Thompson's death, at the age of 67, was a significant loss for the literary and journalism communities, as he was considered a trailblazer who pushed the boundaries of traditional reporting. The family's decision to request a review, two decades later, highlights the enduring interest and questions surrounding the iconic writer's passing.
