Death of Daniel Best is ruled a suicide

Really?!    

So, this guy, an HHS official tasked with helping to get the price of prescription drugs down, decided to hit himself in the head with a blunt object several times to commit suicide?    

How completely stupid do they think we are?

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Nov. 1 death of Daniel Best, a pharmaceutical executive from Bay Village who led U.S. Department of Health and Human Services efforts to lower prescription drug prices, has been ruled a suicide, officials in Washington, D.C., said Thursday.

Police say Best was found "unresponsive" near the garage door exit of an apartment building in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood at 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 1, and was pronounced dead by medical personnel who responded to the scene.

The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Thursday said Best died from "multiple blunt force injuries" and it ruled his death a suicide. It would not release further information.

In announcing his death, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said the 49-year-old former CVSHealth and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals executive agreed to work at HHS "out of a desire to serve the American people by making health care more affordable."

"He brought his deep expertise and passion to this task with great humility and collegiality," Azar's statement said. "All of us who served with Dan at HHS and in the administration mourn his passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to his wife Lisa and the entire Best family at this difficult time."

They're not even trying to hide it anymore.  I guess when you have the medical examiner in your pocket you get away with this type of stuff.

He beat himself to death.

Or I presume the garage-door comment was put in to imply an automatic door struck him unconscious
and then unable to reset as closed, kept smashing his head in its attempts.

It's always dangerous in garages at 5.30 in the morning when standing under a robot-door.


The words you're reaching for Mystic, is what a load of shite!

Seems a bit like the old story, " He was stabbed six times in the back, it must be suicide"
