> Also weird that BBC is already memory-holing that it was a gunshot wound. Another source backs this up, and seems to have interviewed the man's attorney in the past.

However, that's also the height of plausible deniability because cross examinations can get personal and thus emotional. --- I can't help but be…

Ahem. The base rate for a healthy person dying in the week or so leading up to their important testimony is tiny. It's reasonably likely (20%+) that this was foul play.

I don't believe in conspiracies, but killing himself in the hotel parking lot halfway into his disposition is quite noteworthy regardless of the circumstance.
It's known that whistleblowers disproportionately suffer from stress and depression [0], for what it's worth.

No, not they are not. The military and intelligence apparatus does not care if Boeing has to pay a fine. They will not carry out an execution at Boeing’s behest just to save them from a lawsuit.
Conspiracy theorists love conspiracy theories because they allow them to feel smarter than the “sheeple” that believe the official story. They don’t care if the actual conspiracy theory is wildly implausible and stupid, it’s just too psychological seductive for them.
Sorry but couldn’t be me, I am not dumb enough to fall for that cognitive hazard.
