JIM CUNNINGHAM FOUND DEAD
by Rachel Caufield
(MIDDLESEX)
Celebrity author and motivational speaker Jim Cunningham
was found dead early yesterday morning on the fourteenth hole
of the Sarasota Heights Country Club golf course.
A foursome of golfers discovered Cunningham's body early in
the morning. Cause of death appears to have been from a self-inflicted
gunshot wound.
Police searched Cunningham's expansive Middlesex tudor mansion
for a suicide note, but were surprised to find all of his
furniture and other belongings removed from the empty house.
BELOVED NEWCOMER TO COMMUNITY
Cunningham, 44, a popular and charismatic figure in the community,
moved to Middlesex less than a year ago. His two books, "Attitudinal
Beliefs" and "Cunning Visions of Love" both
remain near the top of the New York Times best seller lists.
Cynda Cunningham, his estranged ex-wife, continues to live
in New York City. She could not be reached for comment.
Linda Connie, president of Cunningham's new production company,
Cunning Visions,
Inc., issued the following statement.
"We are shocked and devastated by the loss of our dear
friend, Jim Cunningham. He was an example of excellence in
life. His vision of love will live on for ages, and we will
not allow another survivor to succumb to the path of fear."
Connie and and several hundred other "Fear Survivors"
will hold a candlelight vigil tomorow night at the Middlesex
Pavillion Mall.
"Copies of Cunningham's books will be available for purchase
at a discount," said Connie. "Paperback only."
