Just thought it would be worth looking into her death a little bit. She was only 52. Here's an excerpt from an article. It discusses her achievements including her breaking the saville story and the controversy of her investigation leading to her leaving BBC:
Ex-BBC News correspondent Liz MacKean has died after suffering a stroke.
MacKean, 52, worked for the corporation for more than 20 years but left in 2013 amid a row over the decision to shelve her investigation for Newsnight about disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile.
She began her career at BBC Hereford and Worcester, before presenting on Breakfast and reporting from Northern Ireland and Scotland.
MacKean went on to work on Channel 4's Dispatches programme.
BBC director of news James Harding paid tribute to MacKean, saying she had earned a reputation as a "remarkably tenacious and resourceful reporter".
"In Northern Ireland, she won the trust of all sides and produced some of the most insightful and hard-hitting reporting of the conflict," he said.
"It was as an investigative reporter that she really shone, shining a light on issues from the dumping of toxic waste off the African coast to Jimmy Savile, the story for which she is probably best known."
The mother-of-two studied at Manchester University and gained a post-graduate diploma in broadcast journalism before joining the BBC.
MacKean's story about the child abuse committed by Jimmy Savile was dropped by Newsnight in 2011. But the investigation with producer Meirion Jones was later recognised by the London Press Club with a scoop of the year award.

No. It was a while ago. I was just reading up on yet another "conspiracy theory" that the Deep State has Gas Lighted into obscurity.
Yep, fucking Dick Chenney tried to steal 6 nuke tipped cruise missiles. And get this, make sure you're sitting down:
ONLY 5 WERE RETURNED TO MINOT AFB. ONE IS STILL MISSING.
And tomorrow is August 21st. That's the day of the "Black Hole Sun" eclipse. It's also a Satanic high holiday. And I'm starting to freak out just mentioning it.

Whaaat? One is missing?! So the others made it to Louisiana?
A lot of spooky posts on 4chan about Tomm. I wasn't freaking out about it until some guy posted on 4chan that bloody satanic sacrifices or rituals by the one world order would be going on all day Tomm in Wyoming on some mountain - forgot the name. Maybe Casper mountain?? Something about demons being able to break through for the rapture to begin. I didn't take him seriously until at the end of his post he said if you don't believe me check my digits. His thread digit ended in 666! 4chan automatically assigns you a thread number. There's no way to control it. Maybe he's a computer wizard or he works for 4chan etc but I was totally spooked by his post when I saw his digits

"Maybe he's a computer wizard or he works for 4chan"
Most likely he's CIA and 4chan is a limited hangout. It would make sense for them to do a head fake to some place in Wyomming and then light off a nuke somewhere else.
Who knows. All I know for sure is Dick Chenney is the Spawn of Satan. He probably doesn't even have a heart anymore. He's kept alive by pure unadulterated evil.

What do you mean, "anymore?"
