Prominent attorney and frequent MSNBC legal analyst John “Jay” Fahy was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot near his office in Rutherford, N.J on Wednesday afternoon.

Fahy was a frequent guest on MSNBC, most recently appearing to discuss George Zimmerman‘s now-concluded second-degree murder trial. His body was discovered under a railroad bridge, little more than 300 yards from his office. He was discovered by two juveniles.

Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli confirmed the death, which he said was “the result of a single gunshot wound to the head, fired with a handgun.”

A close associate of Fahy’s expressed bewilderment at his colleague’s death: “I feel like I just lost my brother,” the unidentified person told the Cliffview Pilot. “Everybody’s in tears right now.”

“Something happened in the last two weeks,” the person added. “But none of us can figure out what it is.”

Police have indicated that there doesn’t appear to be any evidence of foul play. But the investigation is ongoing.

Suicides hurt the survivors most. The pain and questions linger for years.

Why go to a bridge? Something fishy if you ask me

Ah man. A dead lawyer. How will the world survive without him.

BTW, it is now coming across the wires that this dude killed himself right after being invited back on PMSLSD to talk about Treyvon. I guess I would kill myself too.

To be perfectly frank, when done in a residence .....there is an unbelievable mess !!

Sorry. Double post.

His out of control handgun probably didn't like being owned by a NJ lawyer so lacking in class that he appeared on MSNBC,so it killed him.

Since he lived in NJ and was a lawyer it was probably a stolen handgun given to him by one of his clients,and the handgun was already pissed over being kidnapped.

When,oh WHEN will people learn to send their guns to obedience school so these tragic deaths end?
