🔍 Assessment
The pattern is statistically striking: At least 6 of the 8 documented cases were officially ruled suicide — without a note, without prior history, shortly after disclosure activity. The probability that this is coincidence is low. A systematic investigation by independent authorities has not yet taken place.
⚠ Note: This analysis is based on publicly available, verifiable sources. The congruence method identifies statistical patterns — it does not make accusations.
