A government contractor working on classified systems typically signs a strict NDA and is quite likely told in no uncertain terms what will happen when those terms are broken. He did it knowingly and willingly. What did he expect? If he was doing it for a higher cause, he must also had known that people will possibly die if what he passed on to the Russians contained personal information. If he can live with the deadly consequences of his own actions, he must be OK with a potentially violent end to his own life.
