More than two dozen ministers and activists say they don't believe Chicago School Board President Michael Scott
committed suicide. And they're calling on state and federal authorities to conduct their own investigations.
In a sometimes emotional news conference Wednesday, the ministers and activists said there's no way Scott would have taken his own life. They pointed out activities he was planning and comments he'd made recently about his ex-wife's death and how he had to help his grieving children.
Scott's body was found early Monday partially submerged in the Chicago River. He'd been shot once in the head, and
the medical examiner's office has ruled the death a suicide. The police department, though, hasn't ruled out homicide and is continuing its investigation.
