Well, yes, “who killed him?” is an important question. But so is, “how did he die?” Because that information hasn’t been relesed:

So, what else don’t we know yet?
None of what you see is real. Everything The System tells you is a lie. The bigger the lie, the more The System will demand your believe it. https://t.co/5ewO4zZROQ
