www.centredaily.com | 02/23/2007 | Investigator says teen's death possibly suicide: "Blood droplets around the body of a 14-year-old boy who was shot to death with a lawmaker's gun show the boy could have shot himself, an investigator said at a coroner's inquest Thursday.
No charges have been filed in the shooting death of Louis Farrell, who lived next door to state Sen. Robert Regola and was friends with the Republican lawmaker's 16-year-old son, Bobby.
The county coroner is using the inquest as a basis to recommend whether criminal charges should be filed, but the final decision will be up to prosecutors.
The teenager was found dead July 22 from a single gunshot wound to the head, but authorities have yet to determine if he committed suicide, shot himself accidentally or was shot by someone else.
Sarah Kinneer, a state police crime lab expert, testified at the start of a two-day inquest Thursday that she examined microscopic blood droplets found near the barrel of the gun and under one fingernail clipped from one of the boy's fingers."
