He was an investigative reporter for Rolling Stone.
He was working on a big story about the CIA, saying it was the biggest of his career. He also said the FBI was investigating him and talked about going into hiding.
Next thing you know he crashes his car into a tree and dies. Friends and family said he drove like a grandma. He crashed so hard the engine flew out 100 ft from the crash.
Some suggest the car could have been controlled remotely.
Now there's another theory to contribute to the paranoia: According to a prominent security analyst, technology exists that could've allowed someone to hack his car. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post that what is known about the single-vehicle crash is "consistent with a car cyber attack."

This will probably come as a great shock to you but there are actually those who believe a death sentence without benefit of trial for those doing nothing but exercising their 1st Amendment rights is a bad thing. You have heard of the Constitution and Bill of Rights up there, right?
How can your self-Righteous disbelief in freedom of speech be a good thing?
I mean the guy hit the tree so fast it sent the engine yards away. Occam's razor puts the blade at driver error.
It's funny how with tens of thousands of reporters, functionaries and people associated with them.....that if ANY of them die in any manner whatsoever.....it's a murderous conspiracy.

You'd think the tree would have slowed the engine down - maybe even stopped it.
The engine and transmission left the car BEFORE the car hit the tree.
Not so precise work on the part of the joystick operator.
The tree wasn't damaged much either, what with the car being minus most of its weight during impact.
