Hacker Barnaby Jack Died of Drug Overdose

DrDevil writes "Barnaby Jack, the computer security expert who died mysteriously a few days before he was due to give a presentation on hacking pacemakers at last year's Black Hat, died of a drug overdose. The coroner initially withheld the report, which led to much speculation given the timing of his death. Mr. Jack appears to have taken a cocktail of drugs (PDF) and was found dead by his girlfriend. His girlfriend stated that he had used drugs regularly."

Our government vehemently believes it has the right to remove you from your home and incarcerate you with no charges or due process.

Does anyone believe that a government with such a mercurial attitude towards civil liberties wouldn't resort to assassinating citizens who makes a nuisance of themselves?
