'Houdini handcuff suicide'
Victor White III died in a Louisiana hospital,
the victim of a gunshot that police said White fired after being frisked twice, handcuffed and placed in the back of a New Iberia police cruiser.
The case has drawn national scrutiny because the details of the alleged suicide are so curious. White family attorney Carol Powell-Lexing says the investigation contains "an avalanche of discrepancies" and the finding that White committed suicide is preposterous.
"Short of him being Houdini or David Copperfield, it's not possible," she said.
To those who knew White, his March death makes less sense.
Things were looking up for the 22-year-old. He had a daughter, Arianna, now 1, and a girlfriend. He was working to save money to put down a deposit on a new apartment for his family.
White had "a smile that could light up a room," his dad says.
"My son did not kill himself. He had too much going on. He was full of life. He was working. He was about to buy a vehicle. ... He was about to move into an apartment. How could he kill himself? He had too much going on," the Rev. Victor White Sr. said. FULL STORY
