Connell was ordered to testify in the suit in October, and told a federal court that he had no involvement and knew of no plan to switch votes in Ohio in 2004.

"He has flown his private plane for years without incident," Alexandrovna wrote. "I know he was going to DC last night, but I don't know why. He apparently ran out of gas, something I find hard to believe. I am not saying that this was a hit nor am I resigned to this being simply an accident either. I am no expert on aviation and cannot provide an opinion on the matter. What I am saying, however, is that given the context, this event needs to be examined carefully."

Connell had recently said he was afraid George Bush and Dick Cheney would "throw [him] under the bus." Cliff Arnebeck had also previously alerted Attorney General Michael Mukasey to alleged threats from Karl Rove to Connell if he refused to "take the fall."

From brasscheck:

Mike Connell was Karl Rove's computer wiz.

He was also the key witness in the ongoing 2004 presidential election fraud lawsuit in Ohio.

Some believe Connell engineered the fraud under Rove's direction.

Last summer, Rove warned Connell to ignore court orders to testify in the case and threatened him with consequences if he appeared in court.

Just before the 2008 vote, an Ohio judge ordered Connell to appear in court and he did. He answered questions for two hours.

Now, less than two months later, he is dead.

Plane wreck. Unknown cause.

How convenient.

Dark and dirty story which is intended to scare potential whistle-blowers. Last feverish attempts to suppress resurfacing true, cheap but dangerous. This is their fight for their own freedom. With our freedom they are done already. Ans who's paying for his security?
