Adrian Lamo, the computer hacker who reported Chelsea Manning to authorities for sharing classified documents with WikiLeaks, was found dead in an apartment in Wichita, Kansas, last week, according to local reports.

Lamo, whose cause of death has yet to be reported but has been deemed unsuspicious by police, was 37, the Wichita Eagle reported.

“With great sadness and a broken heart I have to let know all of Adrian’s friends and [acquaintances] that he is dead,” his father, Mario Lamo, posted on Facebook on Friday. “A bright mind and compassionate soul is gone, he was my beloved son.”

Lamo was known for hacking organizations including The New York Times, Microsoft, and Yahoo.

Manning, a transgender woman who was then known as Bradly Manning, an Army private, reached out to Lamo online in early 2010 after hearing about his work.

During their chats, Manning revealed that she had provided WikiLeaks with classified information, including a video of a helicopter attack in Baghdad that left 12 people dead, including two Reuters employees.

I hope they thoroughly investigate this and throw the guilty party in prison for a very long time.

Probably another of those Clintonista type suicides.

Arkancide?

The article explicitly says the death was unsuspicious. So why falsely modify the subject line to say it’s suspicious?

“The article explicitly says the death was unsuspicious. So why falsely modify the subject line to say it’s suspicious?”

Did you really expect him to read the article?

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

We’re all by now conditioned to know that when someone deems a weird death “unsuspicious,” that means it’s suspicious. Yet another young man who spent time near sensitive data about the previous administration dies suddenly and without even a pause to evaluate the situation, someone says the death was not suspicious. Some, if not all, were acquainted with one another. Alex Okrent is said to have dropped dead in the middle of the day at Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago. Seth Rich is said to have worked with databases of the names of Democrats, Aaron Swartz, a genius in software invention is said to have hung himself.

The deaths of Ron Brown and Vince Foster and others were deemed unsuspicious.

Read the thread to see why the poster added his own editorial comment to the title.

He was only 37. That fact alone should make it suspicious. But this was in the article too:

Lorraine Murphy, who identified herself as a friend of Lamo to the Wichita Eagle, said he went on to amass many friends as well as enemies who would send him death threats for what he had done.

Manning, a transgender woman surgically mutilated man who was then known as Bradly Manning, an Army private, reached out to Lamo online in early 2010 after hearing about his work.

During their chats, Manning revealed that she IT had provided WikiLeaks with classified information, including a video of a helicopter attack in Baghdad that left 12 people dead, including two Reuters employees.
