The mostly likely scenario is that he was approached by Boeing and told if he didn't commit suicide (or acquiesce to being "suicided") they would murder his family. I suspect a similar event played out resulting in the death of the former CIA director William Colby, who died of an "accident" while on vacation. He was an open critic of the Franklin scandal cover-up, and advocated for the victims.

Close. But they won't pressure someone to kill themselves. Just will kill then, make it look like suicide. Pay off medical examiner. Very easy

Yeah, but recall that the DC Madame scandal in the early aughts played out. She said she expected them to make her death look like a suicide. Then she was found hanged. I'm guessing she was a willing participant b/c she didn't want to put family at risk, and get a relatively painless death.

She didn't kill herself. She was suicided.

Ok but you seemed to think otherwise

The point I wanted to make is that the distinction hardly matters. These people are not killing themselves b/c they are depressed or feel guilty. They are likely doing so to avoid harm to their family and friends or a tortuous death.

Ok yeah you do wrongly think that. Being suicided means murdered and then it's made to look like a suicide.
