The founder and CEO of American Title Services in Centennial was found dead in his home this week, the result of self-inflicted wounds from a nail gun, according to the Arapahoe County coroner.
You know, these things always happen in threes fours.

What year is it on the calendar? 1929?
Next up- Bernanke. Suicide by plumb bob!
Build it and they will come
How many shots?
‘been following this litany on Zerohedge. Not convinced malice or remorse, Probably just cocaine or ego. I may be wrong, of course.
Oh crap, now we will have to register our nail guns. If it saves just one stock broker…
almost as hard as slitting your throut with a tape measure
I presume we’ll next hear about a banker suicide with 5 shots to the back of the head. OTOH, the nailgun as suicide implement is possible as I recall a case some years back where an individual decided to kill himself with an electric drill by drilling holes through his skull into his brain. After half a dozen holes, being still alive, he stopped and went to hospital. No word on degree of cognitive impairment after his suicide attempt.
Presumably there’s a bit of house cleaning going on in the bank industry such as the “accidental” fire in Argentina that destroyed all bank records in a supposedly super safe storage location.
And Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes at 43. And Michael Hastings’s car just suddenly went out of control.
Once is a fluke, twice a coincidence. Three times? Six? How many more inconvenient people will be silenced?
The next one will have stabbed himself in the back three times and tossed himself off a bridge. (Analyze That… I think)
My all time favourite was the Spanish gentleman, who overcame 6 cops, then threw himself to his death, thro a barred second floor window of the police station.
The coroner called it;”The worst case of suicide he had ever seen”
As for this fellow, its possible, but 7 nails?
What kind of mind/pain killer was he on?
And what, no guns in this family?
“They said Talley died from seven or eight self-inflicted wounds from a nail gun fired into his torso and head.”
I guess he wasn’t sure, so kept shooting. Sad, actually.
He might at least have waited until Easter.
Don’t forget Philip Marshall That case still haunts me, I guess because they killed his kids as well.
Odd that he would claim to have been a member of the U.S. 1980 Olympic swimming team.
I was a member of the USA’s 1936 Olympic track team and would have won several medals if it hadn’t been for that damned Owens.
And I did SO want to meet Chancellor Hitler.
I guess he wasn’t sure,
–
You’ve nailed it..
“And what, no guns in this family?”
No these were Liberals, they were against guns.
In addition, they will restrict the “magazine capacity” to 5 nails. Nails will have to be stored separately from the nail gun and the nail gun will require a trigger lock or locked storage facilities.
I guess he used the nail gun because the orbital sander was too slow.
Sorry Knight99 I should have guessed.
But if they were normal Liberals, its just guns for other people that are bad..
If bankers were being knocked off, surely the cause of death would be more believable causes, choking on caviar, suffocated by bags of money, crushed by computer files of their fraud….
Don’t most nail guns have a safety feature that requires you to depress the “barrel” (for want of a better term…I don’t own a nail gun) before it will fire?
That’s a pretty damn gruesome way to go.
They used chainsaws in a Hollywood movie once. I say Cartels & cocaine for 500 Alex.
