Answer · Marconi scientists' deaths, 1982–1990

# Unconnected: each death had its own cause

The deaths were unconnected: suicides, accidents and natural deaths, plus at least one murder by an unrelated local offender, gathered into a pattern by the press.

**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Any death later shown to be a killing will have an ordinary criminal explanation unrelated to defence work
- No document will show a state agency targeting the people on the list

## What would rule it out

- A released file, court finding or confession shows any death on the list was a killing by or for an intelligence service

## Evidence 2 for · none against
