Then, a single shot rang out. Moments later, Marty Dillon, a promising young lawyer, was dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. His friend, Dr. Stephen Scher, later tearfully explained that Dillon had been running with a shotgun after a porcupine, and tripped and fell, accidentally killing himself. But what \u003ci\u003ereally \u003c\/i\u003ehappened?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarty Dillon's violent death was immediately declared an accident by the local coroner in 1976.
