    I mean.

    One might be a coincidence.

    Two out of two? Considering how few high profile whistleblowers there are, that is much more unlikely to be due to random chance, statistically speaking.

    Similar to how it’s not impossible that someone might fall out of a window and die.

    But if in a certain country, important people who have crossed the leadership keep falling out of windows, … well.

      That all depends on how many whistle-blower there currently are, I suppose. If there’s currently been only less than 10, is really, really, suspicious and unlikely two would die within even a year. If there’s 500? Suspicious, but not outlandish.

      Was this guy high profile? I’d never heard of him. And he was in the hospital for 2 weeks before dying and nobody seemed to care then. When I read the headline, I was extremely suspicious but the cause of death is just completely incompatible with a hit job.
