h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I agree with everyone that stated that this article was well written. Unfortunately, it perpetuates an inaccurate fact regarding the demise of Charles Collins. I'm not sure where or why history has told of his death as a suicide, but historical facts show that he was in fact murdered. In this regard, the facts are far more interesting than the fiction.

The official inquest from the Cleveland Police Dept confirmed Collins’ death to be a murder. For reasons no longer known, the case was never solved. Some have speculated that it was family members of those that died and some have said that it was because he was going to testify to other problems with the bridge at the trail.

Thanks for that, Jen. I'd like the author of the entry to comment on that before I make any change to the entry, but your comment can remain here for all to see.

Hi Jen,
I'm sorry I've only just seen this. I don't check back here as often as I really should, but I appreciate your commenting here.

I'd be happy to change it (or, rather, ask Gnomon here to change it) if you can produce a bit of evidence. A preliminary google search (which is all I have time for tonight I'm afraid) seems to show mixed evidence. Based on what I've just found, I don't think there's enough to rewrite the ending (especially since most sources indicate that it was a suicide), but perhaps you have some sources that aren't available to me?

Sorry again for the delay in replying. Since it appears you registered just to make this point, I hope you check back soon.
