Oil Expert Matt Simmons Found Dead --- Was He Murdered?

Matt Simmons was one of the harshest critics of the BP oil gusher often stating that the only way to stop the flow of oil would be to nuke the site because the well casing was no longer in place. He also frequently warned residents in the Gulf of Mexico to leave the area for health reasons.

One news source (WLBZ) is reporting that he drowned while another source (Business Insider) is reporting that he had a heart attack!!

According to one report, emergency medical workers responded to a possible drowning a little before 10 p.m. local time yesterday, said John Dietter, a crew chief for North Haven, Maine. He declined to comment on the cause of Simmons’s death.

Mr. Simmons called the GOM disaster the biggest environmental cover-up ever!! Was he murdered for speaking the truth?

Mr. Simmons shed light on the lies, mismanagement, and potential dangers such as methane gas related to the BP gulf oil disaster. He stated that the real blowout is 10 miles from where BP is stating and showing on CNN and other news organizations.

The Knox County Sheriff's Department says Matthew Simmons, the founder of the Ocean Energy Institute, drowned at his house on North Haven late Sunday night.

Simmons was a leading investment banker for the energy industry and had recently retired to work full time on the new Ocean Energy Institute.

He was a leading proponent of offshore wind power and had started raising money to develop and build offshore turbines.
