Journalist Michael Hastings body was reportedly cremated by Los Angeles authorities against his familys wishes, destroying possible evidence of his mysterious death in a car accident on June 18.
Hastings was killed when his Mercedes crashed into a tree at a high speed and exploded.
Only hours earlier, Hastings sent an email to friends at Buzzfeed.com stating that he was onto a big story and had to go off the radar for a bit. He also warned his colleagues that they might be questioned about him by authorities.
A close family friend did confirm that Michaels body was sent home in an urn, meaning he was cremated and it wasnt the request of the family... in fact the family wanted Michaels body to go home,” stated San Diego 6 reporter Kimberly Dvorak on Sunday (video below).
According to Dvorak, Hastings spoke with an unidentified attorney before his death who has all the details about the story Hastings was working on when he died.
Hastings had not told his wife about the story because he said he wanted to protect her from knowing anything so if anything were to happen to him nothing could happen to her, said Dvorak.
“Despite the LAPD’s categorization of the Hasting fatal accident as a ‘no [evidence of] foul play,’ LAPD continues to ignore FOIA [CPRA in Calif.] requests made by San Diego 6 News for the police report, 9/11 call, autopsy, bomb squad and toxicology reports, or make the Mercedes available for inspection which only fuels conjecture,” added Dvorak.
Dvorak also claimed that she has been threatened for investigating Hastings death.
For reasons unknown, the LAPD and Los Angeles firefighters were told not to talk to the media about Hastings death.
Former White House counter-terrorism expert Richard Clarke stated in June that Hastings’ car crash was consistent with a car cyber attack,” in which an automobile is actually controlled by a third party electronically.
thanks for posting the body of the article! I did not know how :(
Any dead lawyers pop up recently?
Holy cow check this out -and it seems to be legit reporting.
Can’t remember who else was following this story- trust you will ping them!
The first rule of going off the radar is not to announce that you are going off the radar.
Why not just send it directly to the White House?
I will stick to my older cars, thankyouverymuch.
Sounds like a Frank Peretti or Left Behind novel.
Who would have thought they would have been so prophetic?
