Coroner Slams ‘Misinformation:’ Obama DHS Whistleblower Death Not Ruled ‘Suicide,’ Under Investigation
Breitbart ^ | 25 Feb 2020 | Edwin Mora

Posted on 02/25/2020 5:49:28 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The coroner for the Amador County Sheriff’s Office in California on Monday criticized the spread of “misinformation” surrounding the death of Obama administration-era whistleblower Philip Haney, saying it is “extremely premature and inappropriate” to deem it a “suicide.”

Law enforcement reportedly discovered the body of the 66-year-old former U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official less than three miles from his home on February 21 in Amador Country, the coroner indicated in a statement to news outlets issued on Monday.

Amador County is located about 40 miles east of Sacramento.

The coroner stated:

Unfortunately, there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. This is not the case. We are currently in the beginning phase of our investigation and any final determination as to the cause and manner of Mr. Haney’s death would be extremely premature and inappropriate. No determination will be made until all evidence is examined and analyzed.

This investigation is still active and will be ongoing.

The coroner’s statement came after the Amador County Sheriff’s Office reportedly indicated Haney’s death appeared to be the result of “a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the chest, prompting news outlets to report the former DHS official’s demise as a suicide.

Gunshot wounds to the chest, however, are inconsistent with suicides, data reportedly show.

The FBI is assisting county authorities with the investigation, the coroner said, noting:

We have reached out to our law enforcement partners in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assist in analyzing documents, phone records, and a laptop that were recovered from the scene and Mr. Haney’s RV. We are currently in possession of his vehicle, the firearm located at the scene, and his RV and we will be requesting evidence processing assistance from the FBI on...

The coroner is just catching up.

We’ve known what suicide means, at least since Epstein.

Suicide or homicide are no under FBI jurisdiction. Could they be trying to take control of the investigation and shape its outcome?

The Coroner Didn’t Hang Himself.

That was my first thought when I read this thread. The world is about to be one coroner less soon.

Why did your first thought consider the head?

Because it is really awkward to point your pistol at your chest.

Be sure you unload it and verify that the chamber is cleared, if a pistol, and the cylinder is completely empty if a revolver.

A four inch barrel will require a very uncomfortable twist to the wrist and the trigger finger is all wrong.

Of course a small pistol or a J revolver will be easier, but still will feel unnatural.

As for a gun being found at the scene, that means nothing unless the investigation can prove that the victim was holding it.

Even some of the cops in our earlier history when lawmen were frequently a rough lot, kept a pistol referred to as a “throwaway” to leave at the scene of a shooting....in case the victim did not have one.

Bill Jordan, a famous Border Patrol officer even mentioned the practice in his book.

Besides, who with a brain is going to keep a weapon with which he just committed a murder? And what better place to leave it if it is not traceable?

Certainly since Epstein, but long before that. I don’t know for sure, but were there more, before Vince Foster? JFK, maybe? 🤗

There needs to be a citizen rapid protection force for anybody that comes out with truth against the deep state. The public needs to see people protected from these assassins.

This is a warning, like the murder of Seth Richards after he released the emails from the DNC server.. The Obama Presidency was littered with corruption, everything from weaponizing the IRS to illegally spying on Trump.. Anybody that dares to expose anything that dares to expose all the dirty backroom activities of the Obama era, will be get the same treatment as Richards & Haney
