It is the DM so maybe a pinch of salt required, but who knows ?

Both working on research projects, nuclear and space delivery systems, don't detectives say there's no such thing as coincidence ?

there was a book written in IIRC 1980's or 90's about a high number of suicides of people in the computing and secret squirrel communications fields
(I had a copy somewhere but can't find it since we moved to Spain)
cases where happy married men suddenly drove to the other side of the country and killed themselves for no reason, and no suicide note. Also one or two have fallen from great heights or driven off cliffs.

I personally have come across a few people in those fields who have not been quite "right", although actually brilliant at what they did, turning to alcohol in a serious way.

I suppose the best example is the guy found in the body bag in Pimlico - he worked for GCHQ. Highly suspicious death, but I suspect we'll never find out the truth about what really happened..

that says
Gareth Williams, an employee of GCHQ seconded to the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6), was found dead in suspicious circumstances at a Security Services safe house flat in Pimlico, London, on 23 August 2010

ISTR that GCHQ has had a higher incidence of deaths than an organisation of similar size....
however, the nature of the work, the high levels of security, continually being watched and investigated, the constant pressures are not something the average person would be prepared to accept. Although these are not "average persons". They are generally highly strung and working on a knife edge for alot of the time.
In this case there is no suicide note, its almost as if the clean-up squad forgot to remove the bag.

In the case of Alan Turin it was his homosexuality that lead to him succombing to the pressures that existed at that time and until fairly recently. Perhaps behind closed doors they still do exist. Perhaps he was helped to commit suicide.

The plot thickens.

Enough theories for half a dozen conspiracy stories.

They're certainly not short on imagination at the DM or could there even be a grain or two of truth in it ?

I thought the official line was that the cyclist was actually the target going on forensics and the little girls testimony and the family just stumbled on the shooting. Who knows eh?
