Mississippi Teaparty Activist Dead from Apparent Suicide

Mark Mayfield, an attorney and tea party activist in Mississippi who was arrested in connection with a scheme to take illicit photographs of Sen. Thad Cochran’s infirm wife, has died of an apparent suicide.

Ridgeland, Miss., police responded to a call from Mayfield’s wife shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, according to a statement from the department. She directed police to a storage room, where they found Mayfield dead of a single gunshot wound to the head.

There was no indication of foul play, and a suicide note was reportedly found near his body.

The photos of Cochran’s wife shook up the Republican Senate primary race shortly before the June 3 election.

Mayfield was arrested May 22 along with Richard Sager and John Mary for their alleged involvement in a plan carried out by a supporter of Cochran’s primary opponent, Chris McDaniel.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
