Cassette recorder homicide


A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other. When the police arrived, they immediately played the cassette. First they heard the dead man's voice, "I have nothing to live for," then the sound of a gunshot. After listening to the tape, the police knew that it was not a suicide, but a homicide. How did they know?
