WYANDOTTE COUNTY – The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) updated details on the investigation into the death of Roger Golubski, 71, of Edwardsville.
Upon arriving at the scene, KBI agents recovered a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield handgun on the back deck of the residence near the body, and five suicide letters from Golubski. KBI agents traced the handgun to a woman who lives in Kansas City, Missouri. She indicated the gun had been stolen from her vehicle in 2022. The investigation did not establish a relationship or connection between Golubski and the gun owner. Agents were not able to determine how Golubski gained possession of the firearm.
Through the investigation, KBI agents established that Golubski left his house for his federal trial around 8:30 a.m., but never arrived at the Courthouse. He made several phone calls to family and to his attorney, and returned home. His roommate reported that she heard the gunshot around 9 a.m. and then called 911.
The final autopsy report concluded Golubski’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and manner of his death was suicide. The toxicology report found no significant positive findings.
The KBI has concluded this investigation. Foul play is not suspected in Golubski’s death.
