I'm afraid you have your facts wrong, Mark.
Fuller didn't have a gash in his head, nor did he "swallow" gasoline
(it's physically impossible). I have a copy of his autopsy, in fact, and
there's no evidence of either. But you're right -- it certainly wasn't
suicide. Fuller's body was found, soaked in gasoline -- and cause
of death was asphyxiation on the gas fumes in the locked, parked
car (so, lack of oxygen). It happened on a hot July afternoon, in
a vacant lot near his apt bldg. at 1776 Sycamore, where now
you'll see a small green parkway (Sycamore Park?), on the corner
of Franklin and Sycamore.

P.S. Got together with some L.A. folks last night and listened to
some great music....Chris O'Neill, in particular...and we played
a few tracks by one of my faves this year, Dungen's Ta De Lungt.
