Sean Hoare, a former reporter for the News of the World who was the first to go on the record about Andy Coulson’s alleged knowledge of the phone hacking there, has been found dead, according to the Guardian. He was found by police at his London home.
Hoare was known to have problems with drugs and alcohol, and the police said that they were not treating the death as a suspicious one, though they did not reveal what caused Hoare to pass away. But it still comes as a grim coincidence during a period when the phone hacking scandal is escalating seemingly every day.
Hoare first outed himself as a phone-hacker in a September 10 New York Times article. He said that he used to play Coulson—who became the top communications aide to Prime Minister David Cameron, and was later arrested for his alleged role in the hacking operation—recordings of hacked voicemails when the latter was the editor of the News of the World. Coulson, he told the paper, “actively encouraged me to do it.” After the article was published, Hoare was questioned by police.
He spoke again to the paper last week, after the scandal had turned into a full-blown crisis.

All I can say is - once a whistleblower - always a whistleblower & he was silenced for it.
Wheither it was drugs or booze doesn't mean a thing - look what happened to Marilyn Munroe back in the early 60's. She drank and took drugs. They wanted her SILENCED!!!
The man who launched the entire phone hacking scandal had become a paranoid recluse who believed someone was out to get him, a friend has revealed.
Sean Hoare, who was found dead at his flat in Watford, Hertfordshire, yesterday, had spent much of the last weeks of his life 'hiding' in his flat with the curtains drawn.
Funny that the western media always has so much bad to say about the hard conditions the press is under Russia, China and north Korea when all you have to do is go to our own western countries. Lets take a Clinton example :
Hume was a reporter for The Hill magazine, newspaper about Congress for Congress, and had broken a major story in 1997 regarding the friction between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and a faction led by Representative Paxon (who announced his resignation just 24 hours after Hume's death).
In addition, Sandy Hume had just joined the staff at Fox TV News and was just three weeks into a job that represented the pinnacle of his young career. Oddly enough, aside from echoing the one Associated Press story, the Fox News website has ignored the death of its newest commentator.
Sandy already had a reputation for getting the story that nobody else wanted to look at. It is worth noting that his death came hard on the heels of reports that "a reporter" was about to break a story confirming the White House's use of investigators to dig up dirt on critics.
It has recently been confirmed that the man who performed the as-yet-unreleased autopsy is none other than Dr. James C. Beyer, who has a record of concealing homicides behind a ruling of suicide.
Kenneth Starr's "suicidologist" Dr. Alan L. Berman has waded in again and as he did in the Foster death ruled it "100% certain that this is a suicide and can be nothing else".
And never forget that 100's of people (bodyguards, lawyers, journalists, agents, prostitutes ect. ect.) went missing during the Clinton era.
