I Haven't Heard Much On The Death Of The Murdoch Whistleblower That Was Found Dead..........
that in itself is suspicious to me. I did read where they performed an autopsy and concluded that "there is no evidence of third-party involvement and the death is non-suspicious". This guy was found dead in his home? Who reported this guy's death? How did the police know to go there? Are these the same police that have been implicated in this phone hacking scandal? I read that police went to his house because they had concerns for his welfare.

Are there any accounts of how they found the body? What shape it was in? Was it a natural caused death? Drug induced? What? Did the police have to break in the door? Did they take anything into this guy's house or apartment? Did they carry anything out besides the body?

There are just too many questions to answer about this.

Timing is everything - isn't it? Coincidence - I think not!!!!

3. From what I understand, they're a lot quieter about that sort of thing in the UK
Here it would be all over the tabloids. Since Murdoch's gang is a little preoccupied over there at present, I can't think of anyone else who might be able to get any information.

Since it was unexplained, they'll do an autopsy with tox screen. The latter might find something or it might not.

At least it wasn't multiple "suicide" bullets to the head.

6. The Rupert has/had many high level people under his influence
and so no real surpise the death is going nowhere fast...he made Scotland Yard look like a bunch of corrupt fools...no telling WHAT he did to the Dick Cheney Justice Department, but it would explain a lot.

7. The first day it happened I was watching MSNBC with one ear.
That is to say that I wasn't paying much attention, but I swear they reported that he was hanging from the staircase with his legs bound and hands tied behind his back. I never heard that repeated later, so maybe it was unconfirmed or something. Hopefully not "something". I thought it odd that evening when they said it wasn't suspicous.

8. Good grief!
Where did they get that info?

Maybe one of those hacker groups hacked the teleprompter, and the idiot anchor just read the crap without thinking...???

How could that be "not suspicious?"

His real name wasn't Houdini, was it?

9. that was the girlfriend of some CEO
that was found hanging from a balcony with her hands and feet bound which was a couple of days after her boyfriend CEO's six year old son fell down a staircase and subsequently died. That's what you get for not paying much attention. It seems obvious to me that you got a few stories all mixed together.

The circumstances of the death of the whistleblower have not yet been reported... only that the death appears to be not suspicious. For all we know he had a heart attack or drug overdose or had some illness the public knew nothing about, etc.

12. Perhaps you heard about the Coronado death with those circumstances?
A rich man's fiance was found hanging naked off a balcony with her legs bound and hands tied behind her back at his mansion, and the SD Police are saying it might be suicide....unbelievable. It's been all over the national news the past few days, and there was a child who fell down a staircase the day before and later died. Some think she killed herself from guilt because she was supposed to be watching the boy, or more likely that one of the child's parents blamed her and took revenge. Anyhow if you just heard a newscast and weren't watching it could've been that story.

10. Craig Ferguson went on at length about this death
tonight.

He was trying to puzzle out how it could be "unexplained" and yet "non-suspicious."

He was trying to figure out how those two things are not the same.

It was very funny.

I think the only other time I laughed so hard at him was when he was trying to figure out how Trump could cause a casino to go bankrupt. After all, the house always wins...And this man wants to be President?

13. Post Morton investigation didn't start until late Afternoon Tuesday
I think the public will hear the results Thursday after
his family is notified of the results.

14. The neighbours noticed they hadn't seen him, which was unusual
though it appeared he was at home.

Police were called to Mr Hoare’s flat in Langley Road after neighbours became concerned for his welfare.

http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/9146880.Tributes_paid_to_former_Watford_Observer_reporter/


But friends and neighbours said that Mr Hoare had also been in failing health in recent weeks.

It is understood that no suicide note was found and neighbours raised the alarm after he had not been seen for some days.

One remarked that the curtains of his newly built first floor apartment had been drawn over the weekend.

He had told friends last week he was “keeping his head down” after being interviewed by police.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8648482/Phone-hacking-Sean-Hoares-family-say-whistleblower-will-be-proved-right.html


Calls to Hoare's home phone on Thursday and Friday went unanswered.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/19/news-world-whistleblower-post-mortem


A neighbour, Nicky Dormer, who lives opposite, said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property at 11am. Police left at about 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises.

She and another neighbour described Hoare as a jovial man who would often sit on his balcony, overlooking the entrance to the block, and talk to residents.

They said he lived in the block with his partner, a woman called Jo, who they believed had been away on holiday. Neither had seen Hoare for a few days.

Paul Pritchard, 30, another neighbour, said Sean Hoare was ‘‘the most sociable’’ resident, and they would regularly see him watering the communal front lawn or clearing out the bin shed.

16. What Were The Police Doing There For 4 Hours?......
Did they take anything out with them - like files or computers?

17. It sounds like they waiting for the relatives, since the police left after they arrived
I have no idea if they took any files or computers. It sounds as if the neighbours didn't decide to do minute observation and recording of their every movement.

19. If you haven't found "much" that's suspicious in itself. It's been some days
Edited on Wed Jul-20-11 10:18 PM by KoKo
for reporters to have sniffed around to get new stuff...and if there isn't it says it's one of those "Fold it up/Case Closed ...that given the high profile seems more and more suspicious.
