If it’s a deniable hit, it has to be a plausible cause of death. Breitbart, stressed and overweight, “heart attack.” Michael Hastings, new high-speed Mercedes coupe (with wi-fi link) accelerates to top speed of 130mph and hits a tree without touching the brakes.
Sure, this could be suicide. But if a target had PTSD or depression, an overdose or a bullet in the head would be logical choices.
Once a Romanian exile writer was jabbed with an umbrella and died from Ricin injected in a tiny particle. One Russian exile had radioactive polonium dust sprinkled on his salad.
Sometimes a hit is meant to be known as a hit. Sometimes it’s meant to appear to be a natural or plausible death.
The intel services can even put drops in your shoes that will poison you very slowly.
And poison is very sneaky. Many organic compounds break down naturally in the dead body, and are not traceable after the first few days. Unless the pathologist knows the exact poison suspected and test for it immediately, (out of thousands of compounds), it will never be traceable later on.
Murder is one of the easiest crimes for crooked intel agencies to carry out and get away with.
A security camera seems to show three explosions in Hastings’ last hundred yards.

Insightful reply Travis. Thanks for sharing.
Are there poisons that cause gradual memory loss and confusion - mimicking onset of Alzheimers?
This matter should be looked into.
I note this bit: “Di-Natale notably reported from Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound in the aftermath of the US raid, and is known for chiseling out a brick from the compound ...”
There were many odd aspects to the story of Bin Laden’s death, and one of them is that afterward the entire house was demolished by the Pakistani govt. In grabbing this brick, the journalist may have been trying to get evidence, which was in the process of being taken away.
