"no evidence of foul play", so a long ways away
Of course there wasn’t any evidence. Have they tried looking?
Dude that's not fucking fair.
I wanna see you try to look for evidence with all that bribery and police gang money obscuring your vision and see if you do any better.

"Looks like they slipped and shot themselves in the back if the head twice. Classic accidental death." — The cops probably.
Stuff like this happens all the time in Russia. People who live in 1 floor houses falling out of their 14th floor window for no understood reason. Windows are a mystery in Russia.......Oh, this happened in America? Well THAT'S new....
Whistleblowers are automatically overcome with grief at disappointing the high and mighty Job Creators and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice in despair.
Oh, I see how it is. They keep killing and killing, but we hit ONE CEO and shit hits the fan. Alright, then.

Two bullets back of the head?
A Boeing suicide...
You know we all love a good laugh about russians falling out from a window but when we will start asking questions why whistle blowers "dying" is a normal occurrence in the US.
A Boeing suicide...
A crass nickname for the CIA Prize for Journalism if I ever saw one.

suicide
Nothing to see here bois. Always remember that US is a free country that is out of authoritarian hands. Nothing to see.
In some countries some people prefer to suicide themselves alone in their rooms without warning. In other countries, they prefer to suicide themselves by shooting themselves multiple times in the back and/or throwing themselves off of multiple storey buildings. Who can say? It's not like countries led by psychopaths who put profit margins above society, including people's lives, would ever kill people to defend their bottom line.
There's two barriers to justice in today's world: The first one is having enough money to hire lawyers. The second one is having enough money to hire bodyguards.
Its crazy how fast you die once you blow that whistle. All out class war on one side.
So many whistleblowers ending up dead. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Hundreds of coincidences.
Einzelfälle as we say in german.

You gotta set up a dead man's switch (not literal give the evidence to a lawyer or do a deposition or whatever). Do that before you blow the whistle and announce that at the same time.

Bill Burr has this take that corporations are the mobsters of yore, they just kneecap or whack people in different ways because the law is on their side now. Until it’s not.
It's all about probabilities.
Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.
This wasn't an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he'd left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.
The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?
On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn't kill himself.
So? He was Poor! Let me know when a RICH PERSON dies and THEN I'll care!
Look, I'm not saying it was Skynet, but I'm also not saying it wasn't.
So you're saying he got... terminated?

Why not establish armed compounds where we the people keep whistleblowers safe?
Some private rancho in Texas with armed guards and lots of cameras?
Clearly gov is failing to protect them.
Whistleblowers dying is not unintended...

Lemme see, suicide from two gunshots to the back of the head?
they were only 26. fuck sakes.
I know this is off topic and not really that important but i can never stop myself from pointing this out about a commonly misused phrase.
Its not fuck sakes, because a fuck doesn't sake
Its fuck's sake, because the sake belongs to the fuck.
Its fuck's sake, because the sake belongs to the fuck.
Laughed for like a solid 2mins. Well done, fellow Lemming.

Conservative conspiracy theories: "HA! What idiots!"
Lemmy conspiracy theories: "HA! Told ya!"
Maybe ask some fucking questions?!
after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being
Who called and why? This seems extraordinarily important.
“currently, no evidence of foul play.”
OK. Let's see what comes out.
The MO here seems to be pressuring people in to suicide. It's been done. So...? What do we know along those lines?
SWAT doesn't need to know who called in order to go full Rambo on random citizens. Rich people pull the strings. They don't believe in accountability.

It wasn't me but someone here called it
I was talking to my cousin (journalist) a while ago and she told me how she was supposed to interview a whistleblower for Anaheim PD. I snarkily commented something like, "yeah but let me guess he shot himself twice in the back of the head" and she alarmingly said "...yeah, how did you know?"

Idk everyone is doing the "he was killed but
The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”
Isn't it possible the guy was troubled and just actually killed himself?
Can't see the forest for the trees.
The problem isn't that this guy might have killed himself. The problem is that the death rate of whistleblowers is very high. That makes every individual case much more suspect, and should be held to higher standards of scrutiny. And they aren't. So we complain.
