Assault is a small crime, no reason to die over it.

Sounds like this man's guilty conscience doesn't measure up to what investigation he was connected to, perhaps he's done something even worse that he hadnt been caught for yer.

We will never know. He may have died with information that could have saved the taxpayers money.
