Yep, there are a lot of untrusting maroon Freepers. A researcher who may have the biggest discovery of his life just decides to kill his self? Maybe, maybe not. You are correct though, we should wait to see what facts are floated and if they pass the smell test.
Again, he may have been killed by some health issue or he may have killed himself. He may have been murdered by a jealous colleague, or a lover, or some thug off the street. The article offers nothing but a sensational headline meant to push a narrative to those who only read headlines or possess no critical thinking skills. Blaming thugs and accountants working for “Big Pharma” based on a headline is just so mind-bogglingly stupid that it burns.
