""He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle."" https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dea https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dea... From Healthy to Dead in 2 weeks is still pretty extreme. It isn't like pneumonia and MRSA aren't known factors. Perhaps a 'weaponized' MRSA?

Stress kills and he was under a lot of stress but I’m not sure how anyone would be able to produce enough evidence to be certain.

Antibiotic resistant MRSA kills thousands of people a year in the US. The idea that he went to the hospital with pneumonia and then contracted antibiotic resistant MRSA from the hospital environment is very plausible.

  Pretty sure the cause of death "seeming very plausible" is highly valued.

    Indeed. That doesn't make it less plausible.

MRSA is already a weaponized MRSA. I don't think people who don't spend a lot of time in hospitals have any idea how quickly a person's fortune can change. They're still the best place to care for the sick, but they're also hotbeds of disease because, hey, we keep all the sick people there. One overlooked sanitization, one visit from a relative who touched the wrong thing on the way to your room, one spot of genetic bad luck that makes you particularly susceptible to infections you'd be likeliest to encounter in a hospital, one never-diagnosed allergic response... That's all she wrote. Doesn't matter over-much how healthy you were before because "on your back struggling to breathe for days on end in a strange environment" is a wildly different environment to "enjoying the fresh mountain air close to home."

  Boeing and Conspiracies aside, this is the scary thing. Discussing 'conspiracies' is actually an entertainment so we don't have to think about the reality like anti-biotic resistant diseases that could cause another pandemic. Easier to contemplate secret assassin organizations, hired by big Corps. Or a Boeing, Military Industrial complex, CIA connected death squad.
