Stephen Greg Fisk, the newly-elected mayor of Juneau, was found dead in his home Monday afternoon. Cops havent said much about the 70-year-old politicians cause of death, except to advise reporters that rumors hed 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 theres others that could have happened. There couldve been a fall, theres lots of things that would cause it. ....
Fisks body is being sent to Anchorage for an autopsy. ... ....

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.
