Suggest everybody take a look at the death of Jim Pollard of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Information on him is VERY difficult to find and scarce when you do. Was up until 4 digging.

This CSpan video is the single best source of information on Pollard. Richard Burr eulogizes his colleague on the floor of the Senate, followed by his friend Sen. Blunt. Both of them posted statements about Pollard on their respective web sites as well.
POLLARD WAS A SATELLITE INTEL EXPERT
Died of a "heart attack"?
Also see @almostjingo for red flags raised at the time Pollard's death was announced, near the end of April.
