Snake Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Nov. 1 death of Daniel Best , a pharmaceutical executive from Bay Village who led U.S. Department of Health and Human Services efforts to lower prescription drug prices, has been ruled a suicide, officials in Washington, D.C., said Thursday. Police say Best was found "unresponsive" near the garage door exit of an apartment building in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood at 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 1, and was pronounced dead by medical personnel who responded to the scene. The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Thursday said Best died from "multiple blunt force injuries" and it ruled his death a suicide. It would not release further information. In announcing his death, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said the 49-year-old former CVSHealth and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals executive agreed to work at HHS "out of a desire to serve the American people by making health care more affordable." "He brought his deep expertise and passion to this task with great humility and collegiality," Azar's statement said. "All of us who served with Dan at HHS and in the administration mourn his passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to his wife Lisa and the entire Best family at this difficult time." Best is survived by his wife, Lisa, and three children. https://articles.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/11/death_of_hhs_official_daniel_b.amp?fbclid=IwAR3VBgIiv9vGHAu4rMQwHRwimDpdpVya2PWDIBwX-AUN3WoBtvOmROf993E Edited November 18, 2018 by Snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old indy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) ASide from how crooked things are in his industry?? too much i guess. another person trying to do the right thing suicided, SMH carry on, nothing to see here, business as usual. with the cause of death CLEARLY NOT the work of the dead man himself it seems as though it would be quite easy to prove he didnt commit suicide. ? his family should go on to make all of this public on as many media outlets as posible. "Man found beat to death ruled suicide. he beat his own head with a foriegn object till he was dead.".............. much like seth richs death, i buy it. 🙄 Edited November 18, 2018 by old indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is still under investigation but they did say the hits were very professional. The rest of the family is not impressed how the case was/is being handled so they put up a very healthy reward. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/billionaire-sherman-murders-private-investigation-update-set-for-friday-1.4147733 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were strangled or hung as far as what has been said. Family put up $10mil for info leading to arrest and conviction. They think the police bungled the investigation.
