One prominent one in recent memory is the Epstein "suicide". Aaron Swartz is another, although not so recent.

To me it still seems more likely than not that these people committed suucide, especially Swartz.

I mean, I think Schwartz committed suicide, but Epstein?

Epstein, no way. He had dirt on almost everyone.

John McAfee?

EDIT: Not saying that I believe it or care, but even wiki mentions it. Thought it would fit the other mentions...

> McAfee's death ignited speculation and conspiracy theories about the possibility that he was murdered. Such speculation was particularly fueled by a 2019 post McAfee made on Twitter that read, in part, “If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd [sic].”[133]

> Several times, McAfee claimed if he were ever found dead by hanging, it would mean he was murdered.[137] The day after his death, his lawyer told reporters that while he regularly maintained contact with McAfee in prison, there were no signs of suicidal intent.[138] McAfee's widow reaffirmed this position in her first public remarks since her husband's death, and also called for a "thorough" investigation.[139][140]

In this case there's at least the motive for Boeing to kill him. But in McAfee's case what's the motive for killing him? It seems like the only one going after him was the US (for tax evasion charges). He was already going to be extradited. Why kill him at that point?
