Sounds a tad fishy - like most of the deaths of people who have the misfortune of knowing the Clintons! I doubt The hilLIARry had any connections to Dr.Liu. Time will tell!

Clinton has ties to China.

The married coronavirus researcher killed in a suspected murder-suicide in Pennsylvania was gunned down over “a lengthy dispute” about an “intimate partner,” police revealed Wednesday.

A probe into the deaths of University of Pittsburgh scientist Bing Liu, 37, and Hao Gu, 46, found the pair was squabbling about a mystery companion whom Ross Township police would not identify.

“We found zero evidence that this tragic event has anything to do with employment at the University of Pittsburgh, any work being conducted at the University of Pittsburgh and the current heath crisis affecting the United States and the world,” the statement read.

Investigators forwarded their review of the case to federal authorities since the “individuals involved” are not US citizens, police said.

Detectives have previously said that Liu — a native of China — and Gu knew each other, but evidence showed the shooting had nothing to do with the assistant professor’s ongoing COVID-19 research.

Liu was found Saturday shot several times in the head, neck and torso in his Ross townhouse. Police believe Gu, of Pittsburgh, then got into his car parked about 100 yards away and killed himself, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Note: I read in a different source that the car belonged to Dr. Bing Liu.

Nothing was stolen from the home, police said, and Liu’s wife was not home during the slaying.

Liu, an assistant professor in Pitt medical school’s department of computational and systems biology, and his wife, who had no children, largely kept to themselves, neighbors told the newspaper.

Dr. Ivet Bahar, head of the computational and system biology department at Pitt’s School of Medicine, said Liu was an accomplished academic making significant strides on a coronavirus research project focusing on the bug’s infection mechanism.

“He has been contributing to several scientific projects, publishing in high-profile journals,” Bahar told the Post-Gazette. “He was someone whom we all liked very much, a very gentle, very helpful, kind person, very generous. We are all shocked to learn what happened to him. This was very unexpected.”

As I mentioned in the post, I read that Hao Gu was found dead in Dr. Bing Liu's car, most reports say it was his car. If it was indeed Liu's car, it's curious to note that the location was on a different street, 100 yards away from Liu's building. Looking at the map it occurred to me that it could be possible that a third party was involved (that was before I read this article). I also wondered if there was something between the two men (such as a gay relationship or some other personal involvement).

And that article is from the publication that Larry Celona writes for. You remember him, right? In this article his name appears as an additional reporter with Joshua Rhett Miller,the 'journalist' on your article https://nypost.com/2019/06/28/former-nypd-cop-indicted-on-murder-charge-in-new-orleans/

I think that they were both murdered and it has nothing to do with an 'intimate partner'. We have connections with University of Pittsburgh, an article that accuses hat university of organ trafficking and working with the Chinese Communist Party, connections with the Pittsburgh Chinese School, connections with Kindred Healthcare and China Health Care Corporation.

Hao Gu was not connected to UPMC as far I've seen (see linked in profile https://www. linkedin.com/in/connecthao)

but he apparently was involved in programming the 'things' that are in the 'internet of things'.

Served as the Chief Architect to build Eaton's global Internet Of Things Platform.

I was thinking it highly possible they were both murdered. Just digging around. I'm looking into your post and will add whatever I find. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3806008

FWIW the car is now reported as being 200 yards away, instead of 100.
