From TFA:
> Asked about a so-called dead man's pact, which Greenwald has said would allow several people to access Snowden's trove of documents were anything to happen to him, Greenwald replied that "media descriptions of it have been overly simplistic.
> "It's not just a matter of, if he dies, things get released, it's more nuanced than that," he said. "It's really just a way to protect himself against extremely rogue behavior on the part of the United States, by which I mean violent actions toward him, designed to end his life, and it's just a way to ensure that nobody feels incentivized to do that."
Which does sound like a direct quote from Greenwald, partly confirming (Yes, docs can still be released if he's dead), and partly rejecting (the "overly simplistic" and "rogue behavior on the part of the United States - which suggests it's not automatic, so enemies of the US would need to convincingly false-flag it for the desired outcome)
