Has some video about his car. Supposedly after his invention he was asked to work for the pentagon, perhaps DARPA if it existed then, and he graciously accepted. He died during a toast, his drink was poisoned.

That link is not correct, and www.lonelantern.org sais "Service unavailable". Was it working when you posted earlier?

The above page has some related links, but only one ot two works. There don't appear to be any news articles on his death, and only a few places here and there seem to make any mention of him, or what fate he suffered. Here is pretty much the only description of his death I could find:

waterpoweredcar.com...
He was apparently eating dinner at a Grove City OH restaurant, when it is reported that he jumped up from the table, yelled that he'd been poisoned", and rushed out into the parking lot, where he collapsed and died. It has been reported by Meyer's associates that Meyer had just secured funding for a $50 million research center near Grove City, but there is no way to confirm or reject this at the moment.

Collapsed and died from what?

More information on Meyer (from the same page)

Stanley A. Meyer, the controversial Ohio inventor who had claimed his technology could produce a hydrogen-oxygen mixture with a minimal energy input (compared with conventional electrolysis) died on March 21, 1998. He did not have a world-wide following, like he should have, few people have heard of him. There were also those of adherents and people who had invested in his activities --- Water Fuel Cell (Grove City, OH). He was famous for his claimed "water fueled car" which was exhibited symbolically in the BBC/CBC 1994 documentary on cold fusion, "Too Close to the Sun". We were initially curious about Meyer's work, the late Christopher Tinsley of the UK, and the late Admiral of the British Navy, Sir Anthony Griffin, but who became frustrated by being unable --- or, more to the point, not allowed --- to confirm (or reject) Meyer's claims.

It makes no sense that after discovering the technological process that he had. Why there is no way that a reasonable, straightforward marketing strategy would have failed to make his technology quickly spread worldwide. There remains a very strong suspicion that he had no such process, from his enemies, (Oil Corp. Cartels) even though he conducted a demonstration (before this writer and another engineer at the Meyer lab in 1993) of the production of copious hydrogen/oxygen gas from what visually seemed like a small input power. But Meyer was exceedingly paranoid and he flatly refused reasonable requests by us and others to test the performance --- the input/out power ratio, even with the proviso that we did not have to "look into his black box" of electronics feeding his rather simply constructed stainless steel electrode, alternating current and voltage cell. The last such refusal --- this one in public and recorded on video tape --- was at the ANE meeting in Denver CO in 1997. Then Meyer loudly and falsely protested that he would "lose his patent rights" if he were to release anything but complete, integrated systems --- such as a water-fueled vehicle.

I know it looks bad that Meyer had not allowed them to test the input power used, but obviously he would have known they were going to ask him, right? Now it may very well be that this guy was totally lying, but I don't think we can say that for certain at this point. I'm only engaging in speculation here, as it's pretty much all any of us can do with this limited information; but he probably knew the commotion this would cause when confirmed, maybe he was scared Oil Tycoons would kill him. Maybe he was holding out for something, or had other plans for the device. Who Knows?

EDIT: Why has this been moved to skunk works?
