#2Not at all suspicious.

#3Did those close to him know/suspect drug use before his death? Just trying to gauge the plausibility of the accidental overdose theory.

#4Heroine, cocaine _and_ a cocktail of other drugs?
And the guy is a top notch hacker about to embarrass some pretty powerful conglomerates?
Sorry but I don't care how many bottles of champagne were in the room trash bin. This has MURDER written all over.
For the curious, here is an interesting story which might, or might not, be relevant:

#5Afterall the "drug abuse" execution style is really used from time to time and not only a Hollywood invention. Curious to see what he was working on lately. I guess we'll never know. Being a hacker these days is a dangerous job.

#8His physical symptoms indicated an accidental overdose of heroin, cocaine, and prescription drugs. The report said Mr Jack's girlfriend had found him lying in bed unresponsive, with "multiple bottles of beer and champagne in the garbage can".
Mr Jack's death occurred shortly before he was due to demonstrate how heart implants could be hacked at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas.
This is an awful tragedy, but it seems hard to imagine that there was any foul play involved. They would've needed to subdue him and then make him ingest cocaine. Therefore they'd need to subdue him physically or chemically. Struggling for your life tends to show up on an autopsy, as does being subdued with chemicals.
It's not impossible, but the absence of evidence should lead us to accept the facts at face value.
RIP Barnaby Jack.

#10Having your (accidental, maybe stupid, very unfortunate) death picked apart like this has been, in front of lots of people who knew you, must be really bad. (well, I mean, you're dead, but knowing that this kind of thing might happen to you sucks while you're alive)
