Breitbart update on the passing of DHS whistle blower Philip Haney
2020-02-24
[Breitbart] Philip Haney, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official during the Obama administration who blew the whistle on shortcomings within his own agency, was found dead in California on Friday with a "gunshot wound" to the chest, several news outlets report, citing a statement from the law enforcement.

Although authorities have said the gunshot wound "appears" to be "self-inflicted," stressing that the investigation is ongoing, 66-year-old Haney had been missing since February 19. and died from a gunshot wound to his chest two days later, Red State and Heavy reported.

Gunshot wounds to the chest are uncommon in the case of suicides, data reportedly show. Haney’s death has triggered a wave of claims suggesting he may have been a victim of foul play.

Echoing some of the whistleblower’s friends, a number of senior congressional officials have expressed alarm to Breitbart News about this, noting that they do no believe Haney was suicidal.

Law enforcement found Haney’s body 40 miles east of Sacramento, California.

#6  If an assassination, I think a woman was the "hit man". Women who commit suicide will not shoot themselves in the head as it damages their looks. When female assassin also kills her target in a like manner, a quick death with a shot to the heart.

#1  Guy was getting married. One of his good friends was on Twitter and stated it was not suicide.

Unsubstantiated: Rumors he had a "life insurance" file.
