Love and Murder

Love and Murder

I present all of the alternative possibilities for you to consider in the hope that I can convince you that at least one of them is a realistic alternative to the old, legendary assumption that he shot himself. My ultimate goal is to exonerate poor Vincent from the stigma—going against his person, his beliefs, and his religion—that accompanies his now mythical suicide.

Maybe it was a suicide as we have been told, maybe it was an accident, and maybe it was really a murder and a cover-up. We do not know for sure—and nobody does—but now we have some new information and several different potential scenarios to explore to try to take a more modern look at the mysterious death of this beloved painter. Let us question everything we know, or think we know, all of our sources, and drill down on all the different possible scenarios, no matter how odd they may seem, with a completely open mind.
