"committed suicide by injecting cyanide into an apple" oh ffs who believes this shit

So irritated with people repeating the cover story. He was murdered by Military Intelligence and it's fucking blatant, stop letting them off the hook.

This has been an impromptu vent. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No? His death was officially ruled a suicide and so no actual investigation was ever conducted.

Sorry, I never use this account. I don't really know about the reception of his death at the time, I was speaking in the present tense for a reason. Perhaps no official investigation by the state was conducted, but people have looked into the circumstances since and it being an accident is today certainly one of the most prominent theories outside of the pop culture "bury your gays" story, which may well have spawned from an incorrect ruling made at the time but generally is not well-regarded now because, as you note, it's ridiculous and there's just not much evidence for it.
