Missouri: Tom Schweich's media director found dead
I heard a guy spouting all kinds of conspiracy theories after Tom Schweich's suicide and rolled my eyes. I don't believe these men were murdered, I do think that there is a common source. The nastiness and hate that has dominated MO politics is the root of it all. 
JEFFERSON CITY • Veteran Missouri state official Spence Jackson, who was media director for the late state auditor Tom Schweich, was found dead Sunday, sources said. He was 44.
A source told the Post-Dispatch his death was being investigated as a suicide.
Jackson’s death comes about a month after Schweich’s suicide. Amid the subsequent turmoil in the state’s Republican Party, Jackson emerged as a strong critic of Schweich’s political adversaries, to the point of calling for the resignation of a top party official.
