Okay, let me see if I follow the logic. People die under supposedly mysterious circumstances. Some of these people are involved in investigative reporting. They get involved in all sorts of issues. If the issue they are investigating at the time of their death is political, you are ready to suggest that it is naive to not be convinced that the political actors whom they were investigating are responsible for their murder. Proof and evidence be damned. Does the term non sequitur mean anything to you? How and why do you conclude that, in the absence of factual proof, the mere fact that an investigative reporter dies mysteriously (a disputed factual point I will concede for the sake of argument) means that there is a relationship between the death and political scandal? I can't even begin to count the logical fallacies in your suggestion. Do you read the National Enquirer for political and social commentary? Your leaps (no, pirouettes) of logic suggest that you are a good customer.
