With all the police involved, to not have a single lead tells me that there are no leads. This cop might have had enough, and wanted to check out on his own terms. If he committed suicide then his life insurance would not have paid up, he would not have gotten a heroes funeral, and his family would have had to live with that pain.
However, the cover-up of his death is going to be even worse, leading to whispers about the department handling this case and about what really happened. With not a single suspect identified, I'm beginning to think his brothers in blue are not being completely forthright with the facts.
Ive been following this case over on the Websleuths forum and post of the posters over there seem to think (based on what has been released to the public) that he either committed suicide or had an accidental discharge. Apparently there isent a single scrap of solid evidence that there was anyone else there, bear in mind that the backup officers were on scene when they heard the fatal gunshot ... it would have been hard for anyone, muchless 3 people, to evade dozens of officers, K9 dogs, helicopters, etc.
My guess is that the shooting will ultimately be ruled undetermined.
The police have handled this case very badly in not releasing as much information to the public as possible and not requesting help from anybody who may have seen anything.
As a rule, law enforcement doesn't release all the information they have to the public.

>>>>At their own peril. The DC Sniper case was pretty quickly solved when they went public with what they had, same thing for the Carolina Church shooter. It was a private citizen that spotted the Boston Bomber and turned him over to the police. So many cases these days are being quickly solved when the evidence is turned over to the media who then in turn give it to citizens who then in turn give the police the leads or evidence they need.
In a stunning turn of events, Lake County officials are expected to announce Wednesday that the death of Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz was a suicide related to personal issues and an ongoing law enforcement investigation of him, sources said.

Very very sad. He could have reached out and talked to someone. From what it appears, the entire community would have turned out to help the guy.
A few days later, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd said he couldn't at that
point rule out suicide or any other manner of death. A month after
Gliniewicz died, police said he'd been shot twice with his own weapon - once in
his protective vest and once in the upper left area of his torso. But
authorities said they could not yet rule on a manner of death, and police said
there were signs of a struggle at the scene.
The 30-year-veteran of the force was involved in a police review of inventory
at the time of his death, WGN reported. He had been accused of dipping into
police funds for personal use.
