We're at war rule

This seems to be misinformation. The family confirmed she died due to epilepsy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Aber#Death
Please refrain from sharing easily debunkable conspiracy theories. OP will need to add a clear disclaimer within 24h or this post will be removed.
- Oh, how convenient!

More recent news articles say it was an epileptic seizure.
- I'm like 99% sure the US government is capable of discreetly poisoning someone to have an epileptic seizure
  
  If you think GRU doesn’t have activated operatives operating on US soil, you’re dream’in.
  Seizures aka “you know we did it but you can’t prove it” is Vladdy’s trademark.
  The US fingerprint is more like the 2 Boing whistleblowers.
  
  Evidently the family had said she had a history, so they would have had to be playing a long game. I suppose they could have been opportunistic about her condition to make a plausible death, but a plausible death to someone no longer involved in any inconvenient cases doesn't help any such cases nor does it "send a message".
  Sometimes things just happen.
  
  im like 99% sure that they wouldnt bother.
  
  The plans would have leaked out by now lmao
  
  The word RUSSIAN was plastered before you like 9 times and you came to the conclusion "USA DID THIS"
- Thank you for posting and saving me from hunting for this
- Sounds like Havana Syndrome.
  Where my tinfoil hat....
- According to the article, that's the families guess and the autopsy/ examination hasn't even been completed/reported yet. Little odd to be really successful in an "intelligent" field and have epileptic seizures that kill you in your sleep.

Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?
Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There's literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.
- Yea it's a known thing that people with epilepsy who live alone are at higher risk of 'spontaneous' death. If they have a seizure that prevents them from taking their anti-convulsant medication things can get bad fast.
  
  Sudden death in epilepsy is one of my biggest fears. My seizures are well controlled, but there's still a chance my brain will just blue screen anyway

We're at war
No. You already lost.
Decided to surrender to a few spies who sold you cheap propaganda.
Now it's resistance time.
- The war against the Russian mob state goes on for others, regardless of how tired the unfathomably rich Americans are. The rest of the world doesn't get to take a day off because America decided to tap out.

Aber was found dead in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 22, 2025, at age 43.[11] A family friend said that her death was "believed to be the result of a longstanding medical issue",[12][13] which was later revealed to be epilepsy.[14] Authorities did not initially release an official cause of death.[2][15][16] Four days later, the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement that Aber likely died of natural causes, but that they would wait for the final ruling of the chief medical examiner.
i mean, that's pretty concrete.
Assuming this wiki info checks out. I would be inclined to believe it. Unfortunate timing i suppose, but it could happen at any time.
- but muh conspiracy!
  
  literally this, the left is brain fucked now.
- family friend vladmina butin
- Could all be lies. We see a similar pattern of russian officials that died suddenly in the last decades and it's often a longstanding medical issue.
  I wouldn't trust official US reports nowadays. There's also the MS13 angle, but I'd believe they would have promoted their actions in a more grim fashion.
  Police and examiner are also easily bought.
  
  Could all be lies.
  And monkeys COULD fly out of my butt.
  
  i suppose, but then you would also expect that the same thing would happen in the US, this is the first death, where are the rest? Perhaps in the future, but we have no basis to assume anything right now.
  I wouldn’t trust official US reports nowadays.
  this would be county level, possibly state level examination, almost certainly with the independent authority of the examiner in question, the likelihood that this is federally appointed would be baffling.
  Police and examiner are also easily bought.
  It would be easy to find evidence? Paper trails? Testimony? The family even? There are so many arguments against this.
- Even the Seth Rich conspiracy was more plausible evidence than this being a disposal

People were making this claim back when the news first broke and since then the top search result including her name is "Jessica Aber cause of death". The cause is officially Epileptic Seizure, and her family has chimed in to say:
"It is with tremendous sorrow that we acknowledge the sudden passing of our beloved Jessica (Jess) Aber, who died in her sleep on Saturday, March 22. Jess suffered from epilepsy and epileptic seizures for many years and on Tuesday, March 25, Alexandria (Virginia) Police said in a statement that they believe her death was the result of natural causes.”
So while it is possible that she was somehow drugged with some rare exotic neurotoxin that isn't tested for, or she drank some suspicious glowing tea many years ago, it's very very unlikely.
- SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy) is quite rare, so this explanation of "natural causes" makes the situation a lot more suspicious.
  
  She suffered epilepsy for years leading up to her death in her sleep. SUDEP is assigned when no other cause of death is found, but in the strictest sense this was neither sudden or unexpected.
  
  Dying from epilepsy is only rare in circumstance that a person isn’t close by. Chances of Dying from epilepsy is quite scarey in that there is a possibility on every single epileptic seizure that a person could die.
  People with epilepsy have a chance of dying if they are awake and no one is around fast enough to do anything.
  Almost lost a neighbour this way.
  if they are asleep there is less a chance someone might come by. Because everyone else is asleep and unless someone is in bed with you they wouldn’t know to wake up and do something to help.
  
  SUDEP is rare, but that’s only because other people tend to be around during seizures. She was alone all night, and epileptics are also more likely to seize in their sleep; Something like 75% of all seizures start while the person is asleep.
  I agree that making it look natural is much easier when the person is epileptic; The list of medications that interact with (or directly counteract) epilepsy meds is a mile long. However, that doesn’t mean we should immediately default to “it was a hit that used one of those drugs.”
- while i also believe this is nothing more than a coincidence,
  i have to admit that, if she were truly deleted, her family would be instructed to repeat a favorable version of events.
  
  Yes. The Russians killed her and had a sit down with her family where they told them to stick with the narrative of her dying by natural causes or else the Russians would be very, very mad and the family agreed to go along with it. And this all happened on American soil. That's the most likely explanation for sure.
  (/s because some of y'all... Just /s, OK?)
  
  Lmao "instructed" bro this ain't North Korea.

Is there a Lemmy feature to block unfounded conspiracy theories? Shit like this will get me to stop using this site, for the same reason I wouldn't use Facebook even if the privacy issues were solved.

  I'm hoping to receive more feedback on it. I'd love some help refining it too. Yes, I plan on open sourcing it once I get past the "OpenAI problem".

People being disappeared, Opponents dying in suspicious circumstances, threats of invasion to neighbours.
Time to get your house in order.
America is speeding towards it's death throws.
- Throes*
  
  Well, unless we're speaking D&D, in which case "throws" is still appropriate.
  
  My autocorrect did not acknowledge throes as a word. Google needs to return to school.
- Agreed, except 2 seconds of investigation would have revealed this woman likely died of an epileptic seizure, which she had a history of.
  But hey! This bullshit post is getting upvotes! Jump on the bandwagon!
  (Like there isn't enough evil shit going down, you people have to jump on obvious fakery.)
  
  The article says that, yes. But can you really trust the "official" reports these days? It's become increasingly apparent that everything is for purchase in the states, including the law.
  
  Keep helping the American Nazis by saying its all imaginary, dumb fucker.
- we entered our 'death throes' when Nixon was pardoned, it's just taken some time to start rotting from within
  We live on a cultural whale-fall and we're eating ourselves now

"Debunked stupid conspiracy theory" -yeah but we live in a world where many previously unthinkable and unbelievable things have actually happened. We live in a world where it's 100% plausible that difficult people could be "taken care of" by the current reĝime.
- It's only ok to be wrong if you're a Republican. If you're a Democrat you have to be right 100% of the time. This brings you down to 99.99%, how dare you.
  
  I apologize and resign immediately.

We should renember that the MAGA Nazis don't mind killing people, or even let other nations kill people.
In their first term, they allowed Saudi Arabia to brutally murder and dismember exiled Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, because they didnt want to derail their $10 billion arms deal with the Saudi goverment.
We knew theSaudis intended to do this, and they were informed that there would be no negative repercussions from the MAGA administration. So we didnt warn this dissident journalist, writing material that was 100% protected by the Constitution, living legally in America, working for an American newspaper, that his life was in danger, and let him go to his gruesome death.
They let a foreign nation murder someone under American protection. Does anyone really belive they wouldn't allow the Russians to do it?
BTW, they also let a loyal MAGA Moron get his head blown off during their phony staged "assassination attempt." They don't even protect their own.
- USA has been supporting the worst violence and tyranny possible in SA for decades if not centuries.
  Full bi-partisan support.
- It's like a pyramid scheme.

This is how they create fear to resist. Resist harder!
- We lost back in November when ninety million people helped MAGA sign us up for this.

peters thiels boy toy was found dead under suspicious circumstances, but that never got news. his COD was "suicide", an important thing to point out is the boy toy was erring his concerns and annoyances of thiels support anti-lgbtq+ policies, aligning with the gop.

Edit: The admins have told me if I don’t say this was an accident then they will remove the post.
It’s is verifiably an accident. It is also extremely convenient for the people she threatened.
Dude, that's a weak-ass response. Do yourself a favor and delete this.
- No <3

Consider sophisticated assassination tools like the Bulgarian umbrella. Then realize that was invented 50 years ago. Imagine what the Russian spooks have access to now.

Someone got suicided. Again.
- Seizured. They even made up some phony medical history and family lying about it... \s smh.

The CIA had a heart attack gun decades ago.
Making someone's cause of death an epileptic attack, either for real or on paper, would be absolutely trivial in 2025.
- You mean the one that shot bullets made of ice? That wasn't real, actually. The CIA made it up to impress/intimidate the Russians.
  
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAC-46_(handgun)
- You’re not wrong. People with epilepsy have a really hard time getting medicated for other things, because the list of drug interactions for epilepsy meds is a mile long. Even common things like decongestants can trigger a seizure.

I got $10 says her clothes were poisoned, takers?
- I gotta go with my homeboy Polonium Tea

  Yup my money is on whatever causes havana syndrome doesn't mix well with epilepsy.

You are still spreading conspiracy theories

We've been at war since 2022 at the latest.
and since late 2024, Russia has been winning that war. Not on the ground mind you, but in regulatory capture of the United States, and takeover of the Information space. (Information war)
- At the earliest I'd say it was whenever someone in the US shared an RT News story

Murdered.

Found dead by police
Found or made?

What a shame on so many levels. If there are whistles to be blown, it would take a brave-ass blower to do so. It would mean a lot to do so though.

You should still remove it

Could also be israel or both ༼∩☉ل͜☉༽⊃━☆ﾟ. * ･｡ﾟ
- or russia, if you look at it.

Yeah she investigated zios too but you don't see liberal qanon going crazy about that.

Shades of the Clinton murders conspiracy theory here. Yes, the odds of one woman dying like this are small, but with enough people around who have some connection to investigations into Russian activities, the odds that one of them would die are pretty good.
- Shades of the Clinton murders conspiracy theory
  I just call it liberal qanon.

She knew too much
