    Authorities in Marseille have launched an investigation to determine the cause of Vlahovic’s death.

    They’ll get to it just after they figure out who blew up NordStream 2

      “She was so overcome by the guilt of being an antisemitic terrorist degenerate that she climbed up on that roof, tied herself up, and shot herself twice in the back of the head.”

      Well that could mean anything between “she died of not immediately obvious medical reason, so cause of death inguiry is needed” to “she was murdered, we are investigating”. Heck to investigate “there is no external markers, but we don’t know is it medical stroke or a poisoning murder”.

      So I would say, wait until they investigated and tell, if they suspect foul play before jumping to conclusions. Not that Israel isn’t capable and on choosing so willing, but sometimes people just suddenly die of medical causes without prior warning.

      The very important difference is that (apparently) murdering journalists is bad, but destroying disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists is actually good.
