Oct. 1 (UPI) -- The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is taking another look at author and journalist Hunter S. Thompson's 2005 death that was ruled a suicide.
There's no indication of foul play in Thompson's Feb. 20, 2005, death at his home in Woody Creek home in Aspen, Colo., at age 67, but the CBI is examining the case upon receiving a request from the officials with the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, The Denver Post reported on Tuesday.
Local officials at the time attributed Thompson's cause of death to suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Thompson's widow, Anita Thompson, asked the sheriff's office to look into the journalist's death to "provide an independent perspective," according to local sheriff's office officials.
"We understand the profound impact Hunter S. Thompson had on this community and beyond," Sheriff Michael Buglione said in a news release on Tuesday.
