Max Spiers claimed he’d been secretly programmed by the NSA to be a ‘super-soldier’ and that he had uncovered evidence of a child-abuse ring involving high-ranking politicians and celebrities. Then he sent his mother a cryptic message—“Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.”—and died in unexplained circumstances in Poland after vomiting up two litres of black fluid, reports the BBC.
Now, in a surprise move, the long-awaited coroner’s inquest into Max’s death has been suspended, with closure continuing to elude friends and family.
