Was Jim Traficant Murdered?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether you loved him or hated him, Jim Traficant was an out spoken force against the tyranny and corruption that rules the govt elite. His death was a surprise and has left several unsettling questions as to whether this was truly an accident or something else. After the tragic death of Jim Traficant on September 27, the phones at AMERICAN FREE PRESS began ringing off the hook with calls from Jim’s fans wanting to find out more information.

 Although there is no real proof of such a conspiracy, the overwhelming majority of the callers was convinced this was the case. At this time, there doesn’t seem to be any concrete evidence of foul play.

However, the possibility cannot be ruled out, as there are several anomalies with the official story that need to be examined. The people who directly witnessed the incident are being suspiciously tight-lipped about what occurred.

 Andrew Thomson, the only eyewitness to the accident and the one to call 9-1-1, is not giving any interviews and even wanted his identity concealed. All interested parties have is Thomson’s 9-1-1 call saying Jim was pinned under the overturned tractor and didn’t appear to be breathing.

Perhaps the most important news has come from the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office, which reported that the cause of Jim’s death was positional asphyxia, meaning Jim was pinned in such a way that he could not breathe. According to forensic pathologist Dr. Joseph S. Ohr, Jr., who completed the autopsy on September 29, Jim never suffered a heart attack prior to the accident, as was widely rumored, nor was there any trace of drugs or alcohol in his system. More significant was Ohr’s finding that Jim had “no crushing injuries” to his body, as was reported from sources at the hospital. The official story is that Jim’s tractor ran over a “blade” or scraper and the front end was elevated to the point that it flipped backward.
