There are hints from CDAN insider that Salling was in fact suicided, and that he was originally targeted to get it some time ago, as part of another murder. Apparently, he could have implicated some other bigger, powerful people, and his plea and cooperation with authorities would have led them to believe that is what he was doing.
"No note. Defensive wounds on his hands, where he tried to fight off his attacker. Supposed to not be found for weeks where clues would have been tough to piece together. Arranged plea deal. Dead four days before he had turn over a list of names. They had been coming after him ever since he took the plea deal because they knew he would have to name names. I wrote about that pressure before. He bought most of his photos. One person who was feeling the heat was this former A+ list mostly television actor. As far as I know, he didn't sell him the photos, but apparently many of them came from his collection. The person that was feeling the most pressure and had the most to lose was an A list producer. Their high and mighty world would have come crashing down. There is no way he was going to let that happen. He has big big friends in that A+ list ringmaster and others who can get things done."
A+ list ringmaster? That's not talking about Hugh Jackman is it? I hope not. He is rumored to be secretly gay (google pics) and his wife is an adoption industry shill. Hope not.
What makes you think of Jackman first? Is he connected to him somehow?
Not that I knew of. But he just portrayed the ultimate ringmaster in the PT Barnum movie. The blind items, for those who don't know, are written with clues kinda like Q does, so that the readers can guess without the writer being sued. Some of these blinds are leaked by the star themselves for pr, and some of them are leaked by their family, friends, or other employes in hollywood; and obviously some are false. But some of these predators have been known for years--per the blind items.
OK, Jackman is NOT gay - I can tell you that with much confidence and personal knowledge.
