"We are still investigating an inquest case, he was found with a gunshot wound to his head and a firearm was found next to his body," says police spokesperson Priscilla Naidu.
Minnie co-authored the book with investigative journalist, Chris Steyn, that claims to expose a pedophilia ring involving three former National Party Ministers, including the late former Defence Minister Magnus Malan, former Environmental Affairs Minister John Wiley and a third minister who is still alive.
Police earlier said no foul play is suspected in the death of Minnie, who was found shot to death on the farm on Monday.
