Wow ... that's quite some thread -- !! Thanks.

In trying to answer this ...

125890207 more damning evidence against operation mockingbird

Officials told the Riches that their son, who died at a nearby hospital less than two hours after being shot, didn’t know he’d been hit in the back by two bullets. He wasn’t in pain, they were told. But he was confused. When Seth Rich was asked where he lived, he gave a previous address, Joel Rich said.<

Someone above mentioned the possibility that Seth Rich was drugged while he was at the bar.
Those who know him say that he was never drunk or even tipsy and was unsteady as he was leaving the bar.

What kind of shots in the back wouldn't you feel pain from? Or pass out from? Is it possible that he was accosted on the street and an attempt to assault him -- like "put him in a coma" kinda thing?

He was bruised which seems to support a scuffle. Suppose he tried to run away and got far enough away where they fired at him? That might have produced two shots from a long distance that barely entered his back and that might be why he didn't know he had been shot and didn't feel pain?

But why they shot him and didn't wait for another opportunity to do the job is a bit of a mystery.

Did he actually have the laptop with him and were they after that?

Wouldn't he have junked the laptop he used if he did transmit info to media and Wiki?

Wouldn't he have gotten a new one?

Also remember, parents were told that he was conscious and talking and that emergency workers or doctors were surprised that he died two hours later. Someone had to have been at the hospital for the insurance plan -- make sure he's dead. The "disorderly orderly"?

As far as I'm aware he didn't have laptop with him, but FBI retrieved it hours later from his apartment - which is all kinds of fishy seeing as his death was supposed to have resulted from a botched robbery attempt and was being investigated by DC police so no reason for FBI to be involved at all, especially at that early a stage

Agree -- especially re FBI involvement. and grabbing computer. But then they turned it over to NYPD, evidently.

If Seth Rich succeeded in breaking away from his two attackers and was able to run a distance from them, why would they feel the need or urgency to shoot him? Could he have identified them?

If it was supposed to be a beating/warning or "put him in a coma" why add bullets to it?

Odd.

Looks like he survived the bullets and was euthanised in the hospital, so they must have had something to hide

Agree --

He fought back and they went all the way to shooting him ... so that might have been what the contract called for -- his life?
