Mr. Anton Sinclair's body was found early morning on Saturday, July 21st in a 'by-the-hour' hotel in the lower Bronx area.
The coroner estimates the actual time of death to have been between Thursday mid-day and Thursday midnight. The cause of death has been identified as instantaneous via a self-inflicted gunshot with a sawed-off shotgun.
Mr. Sinclair, who was recently identified in this newspaper as being the alleged leader responsible behind the failed hack attempt on Harvard university (See GNN front page from June 3rd 2012 -- here ) has been battling depression for a significant time, it may now be revealed.
As part of his treatment, he was given the drug Rylkacyl. Rylkacyl, a product of Haven Pharmaceuticals, has been in the news repeatedly since its introduction in the early 1990's - not least of which as being blamed for the tragic suicide of Seatle-based musician Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the grunge-band Nirvana.
A Haven Pharmaceuticals spokesperson denied claims that their drug is prone to inducing extreme attacks of a parnoia-driven emotional state, leading consumers of the drug to often tragically fatal actions.
Of the roughly 100,000 annual Rylkacyl prescription users, it is estimated that 15% have become estranged from their families due to dellusional paranoia, and a further 5% have gone so far as as comitting suicide, usually in spectacular ways.
Calls for Rylkacyl to be struck off the market have again become stronger after this latest tragedy, in which a promising young man in his very prime, with a long, prosperous future, was driven to criminal activity and ultimately one of the greatest deadly sins - all because of a drug that was given to him to aid him with a mental condition.
Haven Pharmaceuticals stock-price dropped by 5 points and it is expected that their market-segment share will reduce further with these latest allegations against their once-labelled 'wonder drug'.
Special-agent-in-charge McArthur, the leading investigator, stated that the hither-to ongoing investigation into the young hacker will now be closed, even if the circumstances of this closure are considerably more regretable than he'd hoped.
"It's a damn shame, it is. A once promising, middle-aged man can still be put on the right track. The loss of his wife must have driven him over the edge..." the detective continued " [...] how much damage and heartache could've been prevented had this man just been offered the help he needed."
Mr. Sinclair's family were not available for comment at this time. |  |
