He died in a Catalan prison, not in US. Even if the US government had really any reason to kill him, sending an agent to prison in a foreign country to fake a suicide, when he was going to get extradited anyway, seems a bit hard to believe.
The other explanation -that the policemen in the Catalan prison were useless enough to let him hang himself without them realizing- seems more plausible.
- csense 5y ago> sending an agent to prison in a foreign country to fake a suicide In the US, police culture generally doesn't allow taking bribes or letting sketchy figures with improper documentation into prison cells to administer extra-legal punishment. In the other countries, things might be a lot more relaxed -- I don't know about the police in this particular country, but I imagine there are a fair number of prisons around the world where the guards might let an assassin in and out, no questions asked, as long as the bribe is big enough, or even themselves have a little side hustle, providing the service of murdering prisoners who've made well-funded enemies. Also, presumably most US government assassins are part of the CIA, and aren't supposed to operate inside the US.
