REST IN PEACE BIG, BAD, BODACIOUS BILLY B.
We shall all miss you my frend. I wish you
would have walked and talked with our Savior
JESUS CHRIST who is the WAY and the LIGHT!!!

[Fallon Sparks]

Really guys? This was someones husband, son, father. Have a little bit more respect for the dead. Its a tragedy when someone is so unhappy that they'd rather have no life at all, then the one they are living.

My condolences to Mr. Bullock's family, and friends. Time heals all things.

This article is really in poor taste. If "LCPD and the Sun-News have a policy of not typically making public information about suicides", it appears by the details listed in this article that they broke the policy. Have a little compassion for the family and respect for the deceased. All anyone needed to know was that in this case, murder was ruled out. Period. Not a word more needed to be mentioned. Very disappointed by the details mentioned by the LCPD spokesperson and the need to print any of it by the Sun News. This isn't news, this is an intrusion on a grieving family.
Deepest condolences and prayers to the family.

Bull.

[Just sayin]

May his family find comfort and peace in this very difficult time. My condolences to the family and friends who are now without their companion.

I'll miss Billy he was one of the few realtors who I really, honestly liked. Good man and it's a loss for the whole community. My sympathies go out to his family.

RIP Billy.

"LCPD and the Sun-News have a policy of not typically making public information about suicides."

Yeah, right!

Billy was an honorable, precious man. How his life ended is his business and his wife's. It was only her right to share it with whom she saw fit. His life should be treated with respect. People should not have been given this image that might hurt his reputation. He was a beautiful soul and should be remembered as such. By the way if you put a story in the newspaper, get your facts straight and the next story you plan on writing, think of it as your own family. You will never get a good story if you have to lie to get it in the first place. A grieving family doesn't need curiousity, they need love, compassion, and prayer.

The sunnews had the information, the pd just confirmed what the reporter already found out.

[LCNM]

Never would have happened if the family hadn't contacted the newspaper asking why the PD was covering up a murder.

Probably one of these big hair realtors got involved and the PD and SunNews had to get the facts out.

like the moderator Nazi is alive and well. What ever happened to "free speech.?"

What ever happened to compassion, respect and tact?

. The only fact was that the death was found to not be a murder. That's it.

Here's the thing - the family never contacted the paper. It was just random requests from those claiming to be "close to the family." Their family knew what happened and in now way wanted to talk to the newspaper.

Was the SunNews reporter Ashley Meeks? If so, I think the Sun News really needs to get sued over false reporting, do to her lack of knowledge.
I'm in. How about you?

Classy...me thinks not! What exactly is false in the article? And why would a particular reporter be targeted? If it were a different reporter, then the story would be OK? If it was Ms. Meeks, why sue "do" to her lack of knowledge? You lost me here. I'm amazed by people that post here just to be confrontational. My prayers go out to the Bullock family.

also she's the one who lied and started all this crap in the first place just to get a story, so why not blame her?
