Man Linked To Hollywood Publicist Murder Commits Suicide!

12/02/2010 12:20 PM ET | Filed under: R.I.P. • Busted! • Sad Sad

This case has reached yet ANOTHER level of awful!

While being served a warrant by Beverly Hills police, a man who was linked to Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen's murder took out a pistol and fatally shot himself in the head.

The man in question, Harold, had spoken to neighbors about having gone to prison AND being hired for a $10,000 hit man job.

Here's what a neighbor of Harold's, Terri Gilpin, had to say about the man:

"He would talk crazy stuff. He kept always bragging about having a gun."

More from Terri on Harold's refusal to return to prison:

"If they try to come back and get him and take him to prison he was going up in a big blaze and he said he wasn't going out without a fight."

Sounds seriously mentally unstable to us. It's definitely possible that he's responsible for Ronni Chasen's murder.

Guess we'll see what happens as police investigate further.

Thoughts???

HE'S THE FALL GUY… BUT QUESTION IS WHO HIRED HIM, GENIUS?? MIGHT WANNA TAKE A QUICK LOOK ON HER OLD ROLODEX. BESIDES, $10K IS PRETTY DAMN CHEAP FOR A HIT. THE DUDE WHO HIRED HIM KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

He was obviously hired to kill her by someone else. They need to find out who put a hit on her…but with the shooter dead, that's going to be more difficult to find out.

This sounds like a Law & Order Los Angeles episode waiting to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if a future episode was based on this.

How do you know its "definitely possible he's responsible for her murder?"

Are you the lead detective on the case now?

I think there are more layers. Reminds me of Oswald for some reason.
