Its very telling that the major corporate news site chose to frame it as suicide “after” testifying when in fact he was found dead just hours before he was scheduled to give more testimony. They just as easily could have said he was found dead before scheduled testimony.


Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but it said he did most of his testimony already, and had just one session left to finish.

Seems pointless to kill someone at that point, not to mention how public his name is.

If you were going to kill him, doing it a month ago makes way way more sense.


If testifying in court is stressful enough to cause suicide, it seems pointless to wait until you are almost finished to do it. The message other whistle blowers will get is that people who blow the whistle on corporate America will be found dead in their cars one way or the other.
