On the night of his death, Reeves and his fiancé, Leonore Lemmon, had been out drinking, and Reeves went to bed as Lemmon invited friends over. Reeves was said to have come downstairs to ask the group to quiet down, and as he left, Lemmon reportedly joked that he was “going upstairs to shoot himself.” The group heard a noise coming from upstairs but didn’t immediately check it. Here is where the inconsistencies begin. Despite the apparent suicide, no fingerprints — not even Reeves’s — were found on the gun, and Reeves didn’t have gunpowder on his hands. Additionally, Lemmon and her friends only reported hearing one bang, but there were three bullets found at the scene, as well as a casing whose placement wasn’t consistent with a suicide.
