[font size=5]Alaska Mayor Found Dead in His Home, Sparking "Flurry of Rumors" About What Killed Him[/font]

Stephen “Greg” Fisk, the newly-elected mayor of Juneau, was found dead in his home Monday afternoon. Cops haven’t said much about the 70-year-old politician’s cause of death, except to advise reporters that rumors he’d been assaulted are just “speculation” at this point. ....

Investigators say there was no sign of forced entry, but rumors suggesting the mayor had been attacked soon started circulating on Facebook “and other social media.”

Juneau police chief Bryce Johnson tells the Juneau Empire Fisk did not commit suicide and that a deadly assault is “one of the possibilities out there, but there’s others that could have happened. There could’ve been a fall, there’s lots of things that would cause it.” ....

Fisk’s body is being sent to Anchorage for an autopsy. ... ....

********* Gawker readers’ comments: ******

It was Sarah Palin, in the helicopter, with a rifle.

It was probably some Russians. That is why we need to build a fence around Alaska to keep them out.

No, Sarah would have seen them coming.

he was pretty liberal, and people in Juneau (where the Palins lived only when they had to) are really upset, including people I know.

but let's make Palin jokes before we know why he died.
