CALLING ALL AUTISTS
More Digging on Scientist Deaths
Just at first blush, it looks like one of the big programs was finding submarines from space. This would require using ELF waves (because they penetrate the water) and thus we've got a combination of design engineers, software engineers, radar and sonar specialists.
ELF is what penetrates the human brain and alters the mind.
Here are the names I have so far, along with a few tidbits.
Part 1
March 1982: Professor Keith Bowden, 46
–Expertise: Computer programmer and scientist at Essex University engaged in work for Marconi, who was hailed as an expert on super computers and computer-controlled aircraft.
–Circumstance of Death: Fatal car crash when his vehicle went out of control across a dual carriageway and plunged onto a disused railway line. Police maintained he had been drinking but family and friends all denied the allegation.
–Coroner's verdict: Accident. http:// whale.to/a/bowden_h.html
March 1985: Roger Hill, 49
–Expertise: Radar designer and draughtsman with Marconi.
–Circumstance of Death: Died by a shotgun blast at home.
–Coroner's verdict: Suicide. http:// whale.to/a/hill_h.html
November 19, 1985: Jonathan Wash, 29
–Expertise: Digital communications expert who had worked at GEC and at British Telecom's secret Heath research centre at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk. Extensive connections to Marconi through parent company GEC.
–Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of falling from a hotel room in Abidjan, West Africa, while working for British Telecom. He had expressed fears that his life was in danger.
–Coroner's verdict: Open. http:// whale.to/a/walsh_h.html
August 4, 1986: Vimal Dajibhai, 24
–Expertise: Computer software engineer with Marconi, responsible for testing computer control systems of Tigerfish and Stingray torpedoes at Marconi Underwater Systems at Croxley Green, Hertfordshire.
–Circumstance of Death: Death by 74m (240ft.) fall from Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Police report on the body mentioned a needle-sized puncture wound on the left buttock, but this was later dismissed as being a result of the fall. Dajibhai had been looking forward to starting a new job in the City of London and friends had confirmed that there was no reason for him to commit suicide. At the time of his death he was in the last week of his work with Marconi.
–Coroner's verdict: Open. http:// whale.to/a/dajibhai_h.html
October 1986: Arshad Sharif, 26
–Expertise: Computer analyst who worked at the Marconi Defense Systems Reported to have been working on systems for the detection of submarines by satellite.
–Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of placing a ligature around his neck, tying the other end to a tree and then driving off in his car with the accelerator pedal jammed down. His unusual death was complicated by several issues: Sharif lived near Vimal Dajibhai in Stanmore, Middlesex, he committed suicide in Bristol and, inexplicably, had spent the last night of his life in a rooming house. He had paid for his accommodation in cash and was seen to have a bundle of high-denomination banknotes in his possession. While the police were told of the banknotes, no mention was made of them at the inquest and they were never found. In addition, most of the other guests at the rooming house worked at British Aerospace prior to working for Marconi, Sharif had also worked at British Aerospace on guided weapons technology.
–Coroner's verdict: Suicide. http:// whale.to/a/sharif_h.html
