Someone reminds me of Dr David Kelly in the UK. He was a key scientist involved in finding WMDs in Iraq in 2003, however he leaked to the BBC that the intelligence report given to the government was “sexed up” (the phrase used at the time) in order to favour an invasion into Iraq. It was discovered he was the source of the leak to the BBC and then was suddenly found dead in some woods near his home.

The official story is that he commited suicide, probably from the pressure and stress he was under, but the timing was so suspcious that obviously people think the government had him bumped off.
