WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Nov. 1 death of Daniel Best , a pharmaceutical executive from Bay Village who led U.S. Department of Health and Human Services efforts to lower prescription drug prices, has been ruled a suicide, officials in Washington, D.C., said Thursday.

Police say Best was found "unresponsive" near the garage door exit of an apartment building in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard neighborhood at 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 1, and was pronounced dead by medical personnel who responded to the scene.

The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Thursday said Best died from "multiple blunt force injuries" and it ruled his death a suicide. It would not release further information.

Imagine what would have happened if he had tried to lower hospital prices. Hospitals kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year, much worse carnage than drug companies, and at higher prices.

He did get the law passed with congress that requires pharmacies to not hide it when generics are cheaper. Of course that never made it to liberal media, since it doesnt match what they are trying to sell (evil bad orange man).

Tim Aurora says
The political entities recently accused of premeditated killing are ( ignoring Dear leader Kim)

* Putin
* MBS

Both are dear friends of Trump


And Obama was "good friends" with Castro. Unfortunately, the President must deal with world leaders that actually exist.

Are things really this blatantly corrupt? I realize corrupt, yes, but blatantly corrupt?

People kill each other in the streets over $500 or less every day.

I can’t imagine what big pharm would be willing to do if billions were at risk.

Could have uncovered over-billing, embezzlement, missing money, fraudulent accounting. Remember Heather Bresch, Manchin.
