Michael Hastings, the BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone reporter killed in a car crash June 18, sent an email to friends warning that the “Feds are interviewing my ‘close friends and associates.’” In the email, published by Los Angeles television station KTLA 5 Friday, Hastings also said he was “onto a big story, and need to go off the radar for a bit.”
Michael Hastings 'Onto A Big Story' 15 Hours Before Death
Security analyst Richard Clarke says Michael Hastings' car may have been hacked before his death.

Hastings was killed the next day in an early-morning solo-car crash in Los Angeles.

The email is sure to fuel now-widespread conspiracy theories alleging foul play in Hastings’ death.

The journalist was best known for a 2010 Rolling Stone article about U.S. Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, then the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, that quoted the general candidly criticizing President Barack Obama. The story led to McChrystal’s resignation.

yes they're always sending messages about being on a big story before they die.

It's almost as big a cliche as them being killed for silence them.

yawn.
 
Or maybe he was just a shitty driver. Not everything is a damn conspiracy. :rolleyes:

In any case, a car crash is a very high-profile thing. If someone wanted to kill him, there's less ostentatious ways of doing it.
 
It wouldn't surprise me. The United States government, as most, is layered with evil down to its very core. We'll probably never know.
