So nobody wondered... (spoiler)


Ok, maybe I'm missing something - probably am - but.... Luke gets hit with a stone pretty hard, twice, befopre he's eventually shot to death. So when they found the corpse out there nobody suspected foul play? Did they think he hit himself pretty hard to cover it up or what's the story here? I can't believe this part wouldn't be caught and then followed up on.

It wasn’t shown on screen, but the action leading up to the fatal shot hinted that the shotgun was placed in his mouth. Since his death was ruled a suicide, it’s implied that the shotgun was in his mouth, since that’s the way most long gun suicides are carried out. In that situation, there would be no way to tell if any trauma had occurred before the blast, because typically the entire skull, (save the face) is blown open and scattered over a wide area.
