So he beat himself to death?

[Diogenesis]

DC Police blame it on Seth Rich and John Kennedy, Jr.

although as a pharmaceutical exec he had access to
suicide drugs better than beating himself to death.

Welcome to Free Republic.

Did you join just to post articles?

I see you primarily only post, threads and rarely comment. Your few comments are limited to your own threads.

The family and the Medical Examiner's Office need to be a bit more forthcoming. Perhaps he left a suicide note. That leaves hanging the question of just how a person beats himself to death. I suppose it could be done, though it seems a clumsy, unnecessarily painful and uncertain way of doing oneself in. Alcohol, drugs and/or mental illness would seem likely to figure in such a case. The details may be sufficiently macabre that the family doesn't want them disclosed, but as it stands, this story will generate endless speculation.

Would the term "multiple blunt force injuries" be used in connection with a fall? Or with toppling some heavy objects onto oneself? If yes, he might have jumped to his death. If he left a note, that becomes a plausible theory. Beyond that, the story gets sketchy fast.

In all truthfulness, it WAS a suicide.

Everyone knows full well what's gonna happen if ya cut the Clintons.

He was probably trying to trust bust Skankles epi pen gravy train.

Thank you for the article.

Mr. Best knew where all the bodies were buried. He had to go.

Mr. Best was about to blow the lid off the corrupt Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) industry. The PBM's are the middlemen who negotiate drug prices. Their secretive contracting and business practices have drawn suspicion from lawmakers and administration officials for years.

Mr. Best was one of them, but he switched sides when he came to HHS.

Bad move by Mr. Best.

What are PBM's? In the United States, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is a third-party administrator (TPA) of prescription drug programs for commercial health plans, self-insured employer plans, Medicare Part D plans, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), and state government employee plans. Major PBM's include CVS Health, Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth Group.

Sounds like Arkinside, but it couldn’t be could it?

I thought Hillary LOST the election...

[JudyinCanada]

I wonder what the connection is to the elderly wealthy couple murdered in Toronto. They were pharmaceutical company owners I think.

[Robert DeLong]

So obviously the blunt object had to have been found next to him, but no mention of the blunt object found. Why is that omitted from the story?

5:30 AM on NOV.1, that is after Halloween Night. Multiple blunt force trauma, found at garage door exit from Apt. Building— on the inside. So, he fell down stairs (drunk?) and hit his head multiple times or broke his neck. Or did he jump from the top floor through the stairwell (or.... uh,... pushed).

The implementation of the IPI drug pricing by HHS, announced NOV.1, was his project as advisor to the Drug Pricing Director and this majorly would cut in to the profit margins of Amazon’s newly acquired internet pharmacy service... Pill Pack.(Yeah, this is all speculation— but... who trusts Amazon (a deep state front company, vested interests from it’s major “investor” in this biz, and..investor in the Washington Post propaganda sheet”.)

Just a thought— we are talking about saving 17 billion over the first 5 Years, and $50 Billion over 8 years— in reduced govt. payments to Big Pharma for major pharma Patented prescription agents and the system of basing the price paid by govt. on a baseline “private payor price market” pricing scheme, that obamaumaocare subsidized (from our pockets) to PAY OFF Big Pharma’s (Pfizer’s for example) support. This guy started as a sales rep for Pfizer, then left and was in charge of ALL Medicare sales for CVS/Caremark Pharmaceutical Benefit Provider, and left there in April to join HHS.

Here’s Seeking Alpha on the acquisition, prior to the major change in pharma copay for Medicare D and B:

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4185548-walgreens-cvs-defcon-amazon

This is Big Bucks— and since Big Pharma had made their gubment business a major part of their business models— predicated on obamaumaocare and the Mandate (tax/subsidy— whatever, it was a lie)— a huge change to all that.

The IPI major change would impact majorly the Medicare D and B Co-Pays for people, and reduce the govt. expense for having to pay market prices.... by billions over next 5 years, but would not decrease the amounts physicians would receive in the Medicare payment to them. IOW a major reduction in drug prices paid to pharma and pharma distributors/vendors.
