Thompson ‘made this choice’
`Hunter S. Thompson died Sunday as he planned: surrounded by his family, at a high point in his life, and with a single, courageous and fatal gunshot wound to the head, his son says.
His son and daughter-in-law could not be sadder. And they could not be prouder.
“Hunter did not do this in a moment of fear, desperation or despair. He certainly had those moments in his life,” Juan Thompson said Wednesday night as he sat on a couch next to his wife in the guest cabin adjacent to his father’s house.
But, he added, “He decided he’d done good work and was respected. His reputation as a serious writer has solidified.”‘
