It’s is verifiably an accident. It is also extremely convenient for the people she threatened.
This seems to be misinformation. The family confirmed she died due to epilepsy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Aber#Death
Please refrain from sharing easily debunkable conspiracy theories. OP will need to add a clear disclaimer within 24h or this post will be removed.
Oh, how convenient!

Dude, that’s a weak-ass response. Do yourself a favor and delete this.
No <3
“Debunked stupid conspiracy theory” -yeah but we live in a world where many previously unthinkable and unbelievable things have actually happened. We live in a world where it’s 100% plausible that difficult people could be “taken care of” by the current reĝime.
It’s only ok to be wrong if you’re a Republican. If you’re a Democrat you have to be right 100% of the time. This brings you down to 99.99%, how dare you.
I apologize and resign immediately.
What a shame on so many levels. If there are whistles to be blown, it would take a brave-ass blower to do so. It would mean a lot to do so though.
The CIA had a heart attack gun decades ago.
Making someone’s cause of death an epileptic attack, either for real or on paper, would be absolutely trivial in 2025.
You mean the one that shot bullets made of ice? That wasn’t real, actually. The CIA made it up to impress/intimidate the Russians.
That appears to be about a gun that fires plastic/metal darts, not frozen venom payloads.
You’re not wrong. People with epilepsy have a really hard time getting medicated for other things, because the list of drug interactions for epilepsy meds is a mile long. Even common things like decongestants can trigger a seizure.
Yeah she investigated zios too but you don’t see liberal qanon going crazy about that.
She knew too much
Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?
Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There’s literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.
Yea it’s a known thing that people with epilepsy who live alone are at higher risk of ‘spontaneous’ death. If they have a seizure that prevents them from taking their anti-convulsant medication things can get bad fast.
Sudden death in epilepsy is one of my biggest fears. My seizures are well controlled, but there’s still a chance my brain will just blue screen anyway
It’s a fear of mine as well. My partner has epilepsy, and works from home. There’s a non-zero chance that she could seize while I’m at work, and nobody will notice until I come home 8 hours later.
Is there a Lemmy feature to block unfounded conspiracy theories? Shit like this will get me to stop using this site, for the same reason I wouldn’t use Facebook even if the privacy issues were solved.

https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/27608970I’m hoping to receive more feedback on it. I’d love some help refining it too. Yes, I plan on open sourcing it once I get past the “OpenAI problem”.
We should renember that the MAGA Nazis don’t mind killing people, or even let other nations kill people.
In their first term, they allowed Saudi Arabia to brutally murder and dismember exiled Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, because they didnt want to derail their $10 billion arms deal with the Saudi goverment.
We knew theSaudis intended to do this, and they were informed that there would be no negative repercussions from the MAGA administration. So we didnt warn this dissident journalist, writing material that was 100% protected by the Constitution, living legally in America, working for an American newspaper, that his life was in danger, and let him go to his gruesome death.
They let a foreign nation murder someone under American protection. Does anyone really belive they wouldn’t allow the Russians to do it?
BTW, they also let a loyal MAGA Moron get his head blown off during their phony staged “assassination attempt.” They don’t even protect their own.
USA has been supporting the worst violence and tyranny possible in SA for decades if not centuries.
Full bi-partisan support.
According to the article, that’s the families guess and the autopsy/ examination hasn’t even been completed/reported yet. Little odd to be really successful in an “intelligent” field and have epileptic seizures that kill you in your sleep.
Sounds like Havana Syndrome.
Where my tinfoil hat…
Thank you for posting and saving me from hunting for this
I’m like 99% sure the US government is capable of discreetly poisoning someone to have an epileptic seizure
Evidently the family had said she had a history, so they would have had to be playing a long game. I suppose they could have been opportunistic about her condition to make a plausible death, but a plausible death to someone no longer involved in any inconvenient cases doesn’t help any such cases nor does it “send a message”.
Sometimes things just happen.
Not necessarily if they just knew what triggered it. Especially if they could trigger a bad one somehow
You missed the point that they have no motive to put effort into making it look natural. She was no longer a threat, so an accidental death does nothing for them. They could have killed her to “send a message” but that would be undone by making it look like natural causes.
Bad people dont just wipe their hands of enemies when they stop. Until they stop breathing.
Bad people typically do bad things because they provide some perceived benefit. I have no doubt that Russia would kill her for the benefit of sending a message, but they wouldn’t try so hard to make it look like an accident.
You would if you wanted to leave alive and make it look suspicious enough it could have been anybody. The country she represented has a lot of enemies all over the world.
It’s such a trope it’s in like every fake spy movie. If you get caught we don’t know you.
Well they do have a motive to make it look natural, they’re still actively fishing for plausible deniability, they’re not going to go throwing people out of windows here. If she had a history of seizures, they without question knew it and could leverage it into unaliving her. The idea that she was resigned and no longer any kind of threat is naive, she could be in possession of a lot of damaging intel, given her activities.
I’m not saying this is definitively what happened, I’m just saying that dismissing it outright is probably too optimistic. Some consideration should be given to the fact that a) she was young, b) she went after Russian interests and c) she’s dead.
Even if they were to find something in the autopsy though, I doubt we will ever hear anything other than “natural causes” because America is fully a Russian vassal state.
unaliving her.
You don’t need to use Newspeak to bypass filters here. It’s okay to say killing or murdering or assassinating
I didn’t use the word because I was trying to bypass filters. I like the word.
I’m more than willing to accept the “things just happen” theory considering the timeline we live in. Pieces of shit like Trump and McConnell live forever and get everything they want while good people die in their 40s.
Shitbirds only get stressed when they’re worried they’re going to be held accountable. Everything else is an act. Stress is a killer, and the amount they feel is minuscule compared to anyone who gives a fuck.
But, but, if things just happen how could I show I’m smarter than everyone else by figuring out the REAL cause? Nope, must be a conspiracy.
If you think GRU doesn’t have activated operatives operating on US soil, you’re dream’in.
Seizures aka “you know we did it but you can’t prove it” is Vladdy’s trademark.
The US fingerprint is more like the 2 Boing whistleblowers.
Pretty sure polonium and novichok is their style. Very fucking obvious.
They use those things when they want the world to know it was them. The number of countries with access to Polonium or Novichok is extremely limited, and both are very easy and obvious to detect in an autopsy.
When they don’t want the world to know, they make it look like a suicide or accident, e.g. falling out of windows.
asdf
To be fair - most assassinations by Putin have a much more obvious tie.
She didn’t fall out of a window, she didn’t get exposed to Novichok, and it doesn’t sound like polonium.
That being said, still could have been assassination but by other Russian mobsters.
Sadly, it could have been the stress of losing her career and possible threats in her future that exacerbated her condition.
Or really it could have just been shitty luck too.
Let’s stay focused on the real conspiracies with Trump, musk, vote manipulation (look at mail in ballot rejections), and Putin’s digital army garbage.
Hes usually much less subtle than than a seizure, particularly for a victim with a documented history of seizures.
Smart assassin’s get as much info as they can on their victim and use methods to make it look like natural death
Assassin find out they have seizures, they make it look like death by seizures
An assassination doesn’t have to be by a gun or poisoning, it can be done by stealing and/or replacing her seizure medication.
Replacing or stealing medication does leave evidence
Either one of those should leave evidence in an autopsy and in a bottle at the scene. Putin doesnt normally kill people like that though, at least when its a revenge killing. He wants everyone to know that he did it, that there is nothing anyone can do about it, and that anyone could be next if they cross him.
The plans would have leaked out by now lmao
im like 99% sure that they wouldnt bother.
The word RUSSIAN was plastered before you like 9 times and you came to the conclusion “USA DID THIS”
I mean… Yeah, dude. Have you seriously not noticed that our current administration is in bed with Russia?
The players are on the same team regardless of nationality. The war is beyond nations, but nations are a tool to forward the war. Humanity vs the soulless. This war is bigger than borders.
I got $10 says her clothes were poisoned, takers?
I gotta go with my homeboy Polonium Tea
That’s so 2000’s, my vote is ultrasonics
Yup my money is on whatever causes havana syndrome doesn’t mix well with epilepsy.
You are still spreading conspiracy theories
