It’d be hard to draw any conclusion. A whistleblower must be under extreme stress and pressure which in itself in some way or other will increase the risk of death — so that has to be taken account before saying the plausible cause for the excess deaths is assassination.

If whistleblowers are committing suicide at abnormal rates, then maybe we should provide them with more mental health support as a public good.

Publicly making claims and being named as a potential witness in a court case seems a clear line.

F.ex. the resources listed on the US House's Whistleblower Ombuds page: https://whistleblower.house.gov/whistleblower-support-organi...

Let's start with keeping the whistleblowers alive and we have more time to figure out the cause and effect later.

Are you suggesting we put them all under suicide watch? How would we keep these people from killing themselves otherwise?

This guy had plenty of money for a therapist to help with his mental health issues.

What more do you think we could we do for them?
