Remember that with the number of people researching this, statistically some of them are going to die. Knowing how he died would be useful in establishing whether it was related to PG or not.
Yeah, unless he had a huge smoking gun, they wouldn't have murdered him over Pizzagate. The cat's already out of the bag; tens of thousands of people are actively investigating. Also, even if he was killed over Pizzagate, there's no reason to assume it had anything to do with him messaging Frank Winstead. If he was investigating Pizzagate, he would have been looking into all kinds of leads. I don't even think Frank Winstead is a genuine lead. I got downvoted a good bit for saying it, but if you actually read the facts of the story, Winstead's attack on Comet probably had absolutely nothing to do with Pizzagate. This came up back in /r/pizzagate days and most people seemed to agree it was probably unrelated, once they actually dug into the story. A lot of people on here don't seem to understand how dangerous and damaging confirmation bias is to our credibility.
Yes, it's so important to not get carried away and to realise that maintaining credibility is THE most important thing. The attitude we should all be taking is to try to prove that PG is false - question everything, make sure all our evidence and sources are watertight. Getting carried away without taking a breath and calmly evaluating and assessing the situation, information, evidence etc, will only damage the investigation.
