I don't think he committed suicide based on the way he was shot. He was also determined to get the journals to DC and to get the money paid for expenses. It seems cut and dry as suicide until you start to did deeper. Thanks for the post

Given the treachery of Aaron Burr, including his murder of Alexander Hamilton, it seems plausible that he was involved in a plot with Wilkinson to murder Lewis.

Shot himself “2 Times…once in the head and a body shot…?” Little sketchy…

Wow, all that controversy reminds me of the JFK assassination. Who done it? Love this story.

I don't think he killed himself. He got killed and the killer got away.

Either way, a major loss to the world he left behind.
