Nine months after he passed away, the shocking scene where a prominent Bill Clinton aide was discovered hanging from a tree with a gunshot wound to his chest has finally been made public.
The sheriff’s report into Mark Middleton’s enigmatic death, however, raises more questions than it does answers because it determines that he committed suicide despite the absence of the murder weapon.
Bill Clinton Aide’s Death
At the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, an hour west of Little Rock, Middleton, 59, was discovered dead in May of last year.
The report’s release was delayed as a result of a judge’s petition from his family. They were concerned that the graphic scene’s photos would be leaked.
In the end, the judge decided that while details could be made public, photos could not.
According to a police report obtained by the outlet this week, Middleton was found with an extension cord around his neck and a gunshot wound to the chest almost a year after he passed away in Little Rock.
Notably, Lawson’s account notes that although officers discovered a gun case and three boxes of buckshot in Middleton’s BMW SUV, no weapon was in plain view.
The father of two supported his family’s HVAC company in the years prior to his passing, but prior to that, he led a glamorous life as Thomas F. “Mack” McLarty’s assistant and special advisor to President Clinton.
The Daily Mail reported that Middleton famously signed late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven of the 17 times he went there. He may have also taken a ride on Epstein’s infamous Lolita Express jet, according to reports.

No Gun Dicovered At The Scene
In 1995, Middleton departed the White House. His executive access was restricted the following year, according to a Los Angeles Times report, after it was discovered through an investigation that he had abused his connections in an effort to broker deals on a global scale.
The official report was only made public after Middleton’s family, which consists of his wife and two young adult daughters, petitioned a judge about their concerns regarding the release of the graphic images and videos of the incident.
Circuit Judge Alice Gray ruled in June 2022 that while the report would be made public under the Freedom of Information Act, the report’s visual content would remain sealed.
Internet conspiracy theorists have attempted to link Middleton to the “Clinton Body Count,” or the right-wing theory that Bill and Hillary Clinton have killed large numbers of their political rivals, in the months following his passing.
When Epstein hanged himself in his cell in August 2019, body-count truthers were also enraged.
Then-President Donald Trump made headlines when he retweeted a message that claimed the Clintons had arranged for Epstein to die in order to conceal their alleged interactions with the serial sex offender.
