The amount of conspiracie flying around in this thread are shocking. Someone committed, as it seems, suicide after years, if not decades, of emotional work related stress. They came forward, publicly, with their concerns. So publicly, that everyone knows who they are, from co-workers over friends and family to the media. That alone adds another ton of stress and pressure. And on top of all of that, they went through a full day of deposition, aka interrogation, and looked at yet, at bare minimum, another day of those.
Each single factor mention above can, and did, cause people to commit suicide. And instead of focusing on this, and the fact that a very courageous person with high ethnical standards, is dead (I know that I would not have the courage to come forward the way they did in all likelyhood, and if I did, or didn't, I would be in serious emotional and psychological trouble), the self-proclaimed smart HN crowd is thrwong stuff around like "that's what corporate securits is there for" or "it could have been a government agency".
Two things:
First, for fucks sake, start showing some compassion, not just here but also on other subjects were someone weaker or more vulnerable suffers. The lack of emotional intelligence is the world into a colder place that already is and has to be.
Second, stop this jumping to conclusion behaviour, whether it is concerning on-going investigation or stories like, it onpy leads to very wrong conclussions or out right conspiracy theories. Both are embarrassing and expose a lack of curiosity. And no, just because some of the BS theories being thrown around stick sometines, doesn't mean all do, or that this way of thinking is working. It just measn that if enough theories are thrown to the wall, by sheer volume, some will stick. Just luck. And we should hold ourselves to higher standards around here, especially in cases of human tragedies.
- xvector 3y agoThe man was just about to testify. The timing is what makes this suspicious, not the suicide itself. Let's not be so naive as to imply that these companies and their vested interests would not murder someone to protect a multi-billion dollar business. Shit like this happens all the time.
- hef19898 3y agoAll the time, huh? Not the usual lawyer intimidation, pressure and PI surveillenace, but actual murder? Ok, can you link to cases then? In the US or Europe or some place like this, not Africa or some developing country where western companies run amok at times. And also some recent ones, in the last 20 years or so?
- xvector 3y agoOkay. - Jeffrey Epstein (2019, US): no explanation needed. - Michael Hastings (2013, USA): Journalist known for his critical reporting on the US military, died in a car crash consistent with a car cyberattack (maximum speed/brake tampering, body charred beyond recognition) amidst national security investigations he was involved in. Expressed concerns his car had been tampered with and that he was being targeted hours before his death. - Alexander Perepilichnyy (2012, UK): Exposed a Kremlin-linked fraud scheme, died under mysterious circumstances while jogging in England shortly after. - David Kelly (2003, UK): A British weapons expert embroiled in controversy over the UK government's Iraq war intelligence. Suicided two days after testifying in a forest outside his home. - Gary Webb (2004, USA): Investigative journalist who exposed the CIA's connections to drug trafficking, died from two gunshot wounds to the head in what was ruled a suicide. - Deborah Jeane Palfrey (2008, USA): aka the "DC Madam," operated an escort service, threatened to expose high-profile clients, was found hanged right before she could testify in court. Notably, she said publicly multiple times that she would never commit suicide. One of the girls under her employ was also suicided by hanging.

- meindnoch 3y agoI bet you believe Epstein killed himself too.
