Maybe he hacked into some really important information and was going to reveal his findings during his trial? That would be a good reason to take him out before the trial began...

Well, with all the recent mysterious deaths of top people in the gun industry, it wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to silence all the opposition that they can.

I missed that one... mysterious deaths in the gun industry..? Is there a ATS thread on this.. Can you elaborate on that?

I don't think it was any more of a suicide than Adam Lanza's double-assination.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here I'm afraid.What a tragic waste of a brilliant young person.Why would the government bother trying him in federal court if they were going to kill him?And why?No government hit here,sorry.

I'd like more details - was he depressed? Any signs he might do something like this? Any fight with his partner or anything?

Just seems to me if you really have love and support, you wouldn't do that. Even if you DID have to go to jail, you wouldn't do that.

Honestly it was the first thing I thought. I don't think it would be to keep the files secret- they got out already, but maybe if a court case set a precedent....it might encourage others.

I hate it. He did a lot of good.

Hanging seems to be the way - remember the DC madam.

Uh, just for the record, I'm happy as can be. I'd NEVER off myself. NOT suicidal. At all.
Maybe we need a check in system that is encrypted with personal keys. IF we ever decide, yeah, we're killing ourselves, we could change our status. Depressed- maybe? That's it, I'm outta here. Definitely suicidal see you in the afterlife...

I found out about this sad news through an RSS feed ironically enough, RIP aaron.

He must of felt severely cornered by the case against him to do what hes done. I can't judge him, under those circumstances Id probably choose the same fate.

I like how there is no evidence to suggest foul play yet its being sold as if its common knowledge by some members. Conspiracy theorists may have an alternate answer for everything but that doesn't mean they are the right answers.

Seems like a person in his position would make it abundantly clear that they would not under any circumstance commit suicide.

I read one article that said he was shot "in the back of the head". I'm guessing the autopsy isn't complete yet?? I couldn't find any more info.....at the moment, I find it really, really coincidental, all of these people turning up dead. If he was shot in the back of the head I'd say its not a suicide.....hopefully some more info will turn up soon...
