Suicide not ruled out in Nicaraguan diplomat's death

New York (CNN) -- Investigators have not ruled out suicide in the death of a Nicaraguan diplomat found with his throat slashed in his New York apartment.

Cesar Mercado, the consul of Nicaragua in New York, also suffered 12 stab wounds in the stomach, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Friday.

Police found a 12-inch steak knife beside a blood-filled bathroom sink and a second knife -- a 4- to 6-inch paring knife -- in the sink.

Kelly described a "hesitation wound" in Mercado's neck, one that was not delivered in a single motion. That indicates the wound could have been self-inflicted, Kelly told reporters.

Seriously?  Suicide is a possibility with a slashed throat and 12 stab wounds to the stomach?  I suppose if the guy had been shot in the head and a sniper rifle was found across the street, they still might consider suicide a possibility?

Oh my, really a suicide?  More like Amish or a p!ssed off lover.
