Murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO

[MarylandJOE]

@parentologist

He had terrible back pain, had surgery, so perhaps he had encountered the frustration of insurance denials for needed tests and treatment. It also appears that he had completely dropped off the radar, stopped communicating with family and friends for at least the past 6 months. Probably he could have been diagnosed with depression, but I doubt that this was a psychotic break - the entire thing was so carefully planned.

Is there a source to the “terrible back pain” part?

If so, that still seems like a poor reason to kill a CEO of a health insurance company.

Seems like speculation about personal insurance denials, etc. Is there evidence?

If we’re just speculating, I heard rumor that perhaps he fell in with a “cult” while in Hawaii. If so perhaps that was what turned him into what he is.
