The investigation into the death of Walking Dead alum Moses J. Moseley continues to go deeper — and it’ s becoming unclear as to whether he actually died by suicide, like police had initially suspected.
As we previously reported, the 30-year-old actor died late last month, with authorities discovering his body in a car in a remote area of the city of Stockbridge, Georgia. At the time, police were confident that the actor likely died by suicide , after Moseley was found with a bullet wound to his head and a gun in his lap in the car.
The TV star’ s family quickly spoke out about the tragedy, and revealed that they very much did not believe Moseley died by suicide . And now, as police continue to investigate the particulars of the case, they are no longer sure that the actor’ s death actually came by suicide.

Speaking to TMZ , Captain Randy Lee of the Stockbridge Police Department noted that investigators are now considering potential other causes of death in this case. He explained that cops are wondering about “ other possibilities” that have come about during the forensic investigation (below):
“ During the preliminary investigation, the potential of the death being a suicide was considered while not ruling out any other possibilities. As investigators progressed their investigation and more evidence was processed, reviewed and analyzed, other possibilities have presented themselves including accidental. ”
Wow.
The police captain added an important note, too, cautioning patience for those anxious to figure out exactly what happened:
“ It is important to note, the case is still currently open and active and all possibilities and leads are being thoroughly investigated. ”
That’ s certainly wise and reasonable advice.

The media outlet spoke to an unnamed member of Moseley’ s family for Sunday’ s report, too. According to that family member, police are apparently looking at three things which may suggest the actor’ s death was not by suicide: blood splatter evidence, the angle at which the bullet entered Moses’ skull, and his apparent “ loose” grip on the gun, “ as if someone put it in his hand. ”
The family member alleges that the bullet apparently entered “ below Moses’ eye and never left his skull, ” which is an atypical location for a self-inflicted gunshot wound. TMZ notes that police most often see wounds in the temple or mouth, as opposed to where the bullet apparently entered the actor’ s skull in this case. This follows Moses’ family’ s belief that he was kidnapped and murdered at the location, with the scene staged to make it look like a suicide.
We sincerely hope the Stockbridge PD continues to fully investigate Moseley’ s tragic death and the late actor’ s family can soon receive some type of conclusive answer to their questions.
