BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (March 17, 2010)--Authorities are trying to determine whether Major Bashinsky, 63, an heir to one of Alabama's best-known companies was killed or took his own life.
Mountain Brook, Ala. Police Chief Johnny Stanley said Wednesday that is the main question after Bashinsky’s body was found in a golf course pond in suburban Birmingham, Ala.
Stanley said he hopes a coroner's report will provide some answers.
Bashinksy, a prominent estate lawyer in Birmingham, disappeared two weeks ago.
He is a son of the late Sloan Bashinsky, longtime head of Golden Flake Snack Foods.
Major Bashinsky's car was found four days after he disappeared, and a letter critical of the company was taped inside it along with a bag of chips.
The letter was one of a series sent to members of the Bashinsky family.
