Philly Building Inspector Shoots Himself

So we are told.... 

"Inspector in Philadelphia building collapse kills self" June 14, 2013

PHILADELPHIA — A veteran inspector who surveyed a downtown building weeks before it collapsed, killing six people, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound a week after the accident, authorities said Thursday.

Ronald Wagenhoffer, 52, was found shot in the chest in a pickup truck around 9 p.m. Wednesday. A longtime employee with the Department of Licenses and Inspections, Wagenhoffer had inspected the building May 14 and signed off on demolition work underway, after getting complaints about the site from the public, Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison said.

Or did he?

That was three weeks before the vacant four-story building collapsed....

Gee, how convenient that the guy who was going to be scapegoated is also buried?
