Re: How Did Adrian Lamo Die?

Lets hope he didn't really die since he did far more than say, Julian Assmange 
, to stop the aggressive invasion of Iraq. 

In February 2002, he broke into the internal computer network of The New York 
Times, added his name to the internal database of expert sources, and used the 
paper's LexisNexis account to conduct research on high-profile subjects. 

 He was convicted of compromising security at The New York Times, Microsoft*, 
and two other corporates.

A Sunday morning story, September 8, 2002, in the New York Times made Powell's 
U.N. speech and the congressional debate much easier for the White House.

Under the headline, “Threats and Responses: The Iraqis; U.S. Says Hussein 
Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts,” a 3603 word story by Michael R. Gordon and 
Judith Miller detailed the administration’s bs case against Saddam Hussein 
related to weapons of mass destruction.

Its interesting to speculate if Adrian could have exposed Gordon and Miller 
before he was caught. 

*Microsoft being a long time c-punk adversary

How Did Adrian Lamo Die?

Adrian Lamo’s sudden demise in his Wichita, Kansas, home in March 2018 was 
shrouded in mystery from the very beginning. A hacker and threat-analyst who 
came into the spotlight when he claimed to have hacked into The New York Times, 
Yahoo, and Microsoft, Adrian Lamo also helped in exposing Chelsea Manning, the 
former US army analyst who leaked numerous government documents to WikiLeaks. 
‘We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks’ features Adrian’s story and focuses 
on his astonishing hacking prowess. Let’s delve into the grey hat hacker’s life 
and try to figure out the mystery behind his death, shall we?

What Happened to Adrian Lamo?

Adrian Lamo initially came into the limelight in 2003 when he was arrested for 
[illegally hacking](https://www.wired.com/2004/04/hacker-5/) into the online 
networks of high-profile companies like The New York Times. Prior to his 
arrest, he even worked as a grey hat hacker wherein he forced his way into the 
online networks of various companies and then helped them patch the holes in 
their security. However, once arrested, Lamo pleaded guilty to the charges and, 
in 2004, was sentenced to six months of house arrest and two years of probation.

Adrian rose to prominence once again in May 2010, when he got in contact with 
the US Army and [claimed](https://www.wired.com/2010/06/leak/) that Chelsea 
Manning was responsible for leaking government documents and video footage of 
army operations to WikiLeaks. However, since then, he lived a transient 
lifestyle and never stayed in a place for too long. Additionally, the 
documentary also mentions that Adrian had a history of drug abuse and 
frequented harmful medicines, which left a lasting effect on his physical and 
mental well-being.

How Did Adrian Lamo Die?

By the time Adrian entered his mid-30s, his health had massively deteriorated, 
and he even began walking with a limp. Around that time, Debbie and Bill 
Scroggin, a couple from Wichita, Kansas, decided to give Adrian shelter in 
their family home. Interestingly, Adrian kept up his eccentric behavior while 
living with the Scroggins and often resorted to wandering the house alone at 
night. Later, the couple even mentioned that Adrian was wary of using his last 
name, and although he received numerous mysterious packages throughout his 
stay, they were always addressed to his middle name Adrian Alfonso.

However, his tenure of living in the Scroggin house did not last long as the 
couple decided to ask Adrian to move out after Bill 
[caught](https://www.npr.org/2019/09/19/760317486/the-mysterious-death-of-the-hacker-who-turned-in-chelsea-manning)
 him apparently trying to steal medicines. Nevertheless, unwilling to put him 
out on the streets, Debbie and Bill helped Adrian move into the Shadybrook 
Senior Apartments in Wichita, where he resided until his death. On March 14, 
2018, Adrian was found dead in this same apartment. When authorities arrived, 
they found the hacker in the bedroom with blood dripping from his fingernails. 
However, there were no signs of foul play, and nothing suggested a potential 
break-in.

Once the autopsy reports were in, officers discovered that although Adrian had 
[several](https://www.npr.org/2019/09/19/760317486/the-mysterious-death-of-the-hacker-who-turned-in-chelsea-manning)
 drugs and chemicals in his system at the time of his death, the concentration 
wasn’t high enough to lead to death. Moreover, in a surprising turn of events, 
medical examiners were unable to ascertain the cause and nature of the hacker’s 
death and refused even to rule out the possibility of a murder.
