1) Sean Hoare was found mysteriously deceased by London police. Hoare was a primary whistle-blower in the unfolding crisis at News Corporation.
2) Dr. David Kelly was a British scientist and expert in biological warfare employed by the British Ministry of Defence. He met with a BBC reporter about the true state of the government’s dossier concerning Iraq’s supposed stockpiles of chemical weapons.
Dr. Kelly disputed claims that Iraq had the capability to fire biological weapons within 45 minutes, a major British argument for invading Iraq the second time.
Police said Dr. Kelly went for his usual evening walk and ingested 29 painkiller tablets. Then for good measure, he cut his wrists.
3) Karen Silkwood worked at the Kerr-McGee nuclear plant and was assigned to investigate health and safety violations at the plant, most notably those of exposing workers to contamination.
Later that year, she was found to have plutonium contamination 400 times the legal limit. Following decontamination she was deemed to have similar levels of poisoning the next day. On a third day her levels of radiation were even higher, to the point she expelled contaminated air from her lungs as she breathed. A decontamination team was sent to her home, which was determined to be heavily exposed to radiation.
Silkwood by then had assembled a wealth of paperwork on the conditions at Kerr-McGee and a meeting was set with a reporter from The New York Times and a national official from her union. Yet that night, she had a fatal car accident. Naturally, sleeping pills were found on the scene and the police deemed the cause due to a weary driver.
Authorities discounted skid marks on the road, damage on the rear of Silkwood’s auto, and microscopic paint chips belonging to another vehicle. All the documentation she was carrying concerning Kerr-McGee’s dangerous and criminal operations mysteriously disappeared.
### Rudolf Hess was interned at Landau Prison until 1987 when he hanged himself with electrical cord. Yet the 93-year-old Hess was physically unable to raise his hands above his head. No mention was made of the overwhelming evidence that in 1941 he flew to Scotland to meet with members of the highest levels of British establishment in an attempt to end the war.
As to Hess, upon landing, his cache of documents was removed from him. For the next several decades he was held (in isolation) far longer than those who actually committed wartime atrocities. As a possible release neared, he killed himself with no witnesses, though in 2008 Hess’s medical caretaker publicly stated the British SIS had aided Hess in exiting the mortal plane. Though immediately fired for this outrageous act of honesty, that man has thankfully not otherwise suffered.
