This makes me so angry. Such an important case, so much on the line. And then this. And if you question the official narrative of "suicide", you will probably soon be labeled a conspiracy theorist.

Oh an just by the way, this news broke first on 4chan (thread 222518349). That just on the matter of what the value of these sites are.

edit: and already there are [dead] comments who question this

The problem, in my experience, is that for one legit fact usually there is a lot of actual fake news thrown in, along with context free facts, in those communities. This causes a lot of people believe false things and keep repeating it to others. A form of brainwashing. Also people who assume someone's guilt and then work backwards towards showing it, while ignoring other signs.

This is the way I would have explained the main stream media.

He died the way he lived: with people looking the other way.

The suicide narrative is perfectly reasonable. The fact that he was on suicide watch already is what raises questions of corruption and coverups.

Why would you doubt suicide?

Because it's just too convenient.

He was murdered, far more logically.

How is it far more logical?

Because he was on suicide watch, until conveniently taken off of it a few hours before he died.

His cell's camera also "mysteriously" stopped working.

Somehow, he hung himself, which should have been impossible at the facility he was in.

The odds make it extremely probably that he was "suicided", that is, murdered, and then have his death announced by a corrupt coroner as "suicide".

As it is, it seems like he was probably murdered by strangulation.
