Kind of makes me wonder how strong and interest he might have had in Seth Rich.

Did he recently say something negative about the Clinton’s?

So far foul play is not suspected, but then again terrorist acts often start as as not acts of terrorism. So yes, it does make you wonder because there is certainly more to that story then what has been told. It surprises me that his family seems to be in on the coverup as well.

“Did he recently say something negative about the Clinton’s?”

My first thought as well. Read his editorials and they will tell you who wanted him dead. Occam’s Razor.

If he committed suicide, his family is probably not going to want to be out there giving interviews about it. The first paragraph mentioned that the police had been called for a wellness check, so probably he had given indications of depression or some behavior that led them to fear he might be suicidal.

It happens. Even without the Clintons.

Why does it seem that these “not suspicious” premature deaths are always of pro-American journalists and comedians?

Why don’t the Chris Matthews and Kathy Griffins of the world drop suddenly mysteriously (not suspiciously) dead?

“Did he recently say something negative about the Clinton’s?”

A comment from another news source stated in had an interview at the Russian Federation Consulate (for which he did not show up due to his death). The comment went on to say, “whose stated purpose for the meeting was his investigating Hillary Clinton links to the 2014 sale of Veropharm (one of Russia’s largest medical companies) to the American medical giant Abbott Laboratories.”

My google investigation only found this:

The sale occurred irregardless to economic sanction placed on Russia by Obama in March, 2014.

As for the wellness check, it could have just been a call by a concerned employer of a valued, regularly punctual and responsible employee who’d not come to work or called in and the were concerned about him.

Or the 0bama’s...(re: Joan Rivers).

In another day and time, what you’re suggesting would have been seen as preposterous. But today it’s a real possibility.
