Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration's House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.

Fire officials said it appeared the car crashed as it was pulling in or out of the garage behind a rowhouse in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at about 5 a.m. Neighbors dialed 911 after spotting the fire.

The body was discovered after fire crews doused the blaze. The fire also charred part of the garage. Nobody in the house was injured, fire officials said.

Ashley Turton worked as a lobbyist for the utility giant Progress Energy, according to Politico. She was a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.

Metropolitan Police Lt. Nicholas Breul told Roll Call a joint investigation is underway. Homicide detectives were called to the scene.

"This could be just a tragic freak accident," Breul said, adding there was no indication that there was a crime committed.

The White House had no immediate comment on the incident.

This is an interesting read -as are Jack Wheeler's other writings before , after and TODAY.

But why did you not include the caveat that this is NOT the Jack Wheeler found in the trash?

I hope other freepers didn't pick this up and run with it, thinking - since this is a thread about mysterious/convenient deaths - that it was written about the late Jack Wheeler...

You know how we were talking abobut The List re: the Clinton's, how unusual it was for any one pperson to know SO MANY people who had died or been killed, and how we personally don't know even one person who had been killed/murdered/had a mysterious death??

What is the deal with these people??? Read this thread, and look at The List re: Obama. Some are silly, but still it's a lot of people.

No projectile was ever found... and a lack of blood from a head wound also.

Can you say Apollo group, this is a message to anyone who worked on legislation with tides,Apollo or any other entity. Keep your mouth shut in hearings Turton serves as President Barack Obama’s point man for guiding his legislative agenda through the House. Though he was officially appointed to the job in January 2009, Turton started working well before that date with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to convince key players to support the president’s $800 billion economic stimulus package. 

Turton worked to push the White House's agenda throughout the 111th Congress, one of the most productive in history, and continues to liaise with Congress as the White House ramps up for Obama’s reelection.

I heard this reported on the radio without any mention that she was connected to RATs.

I'm sure it is stupidly expensive. I love living in flyover country, where I can live comfortably in a nice house with some privacy and property.

We need Hugh Sprunt to come back to DC.

The cops will fold like a cheap tent when their pensions are threatened by the local politicians.

I'll expand that a bit> shot to death, put in vehicle and driven into garage, then set on fire. That's why no one in the house heard anything.

Thanks you! It’s a cheap house for such important people.

The circumstances are quite suspicious, to say the least.
