Content of the article:

Journalist Michael Hastings’ body was reportedly cremated by Los Angeles authorities against his family’s wishes, destroying possible evidence of his mysterious death in a car accident on June 18.

Hastings was killed when his Mercedes crashed into a tree at a high speed and exploded.

Only hours earlier, Hastings sent an email to friends at Buzzfeed.com stating that he was “onto a big story” and had “to go off the radar for a bit.” He also warned his colleagues that they might be questioned about him by authorities.

“A close family friend did confirm that Michael’s body was sent home in an urn, meaning he was cremated and it wasn’t the request of the family... in fact the family wanted Michael’s body to go home,” stated San Diego 6 reporter Kimberly Dvorak on Sunday (video below).

According to Dvorak, Hastings spoke with an unidentified attorney before his death who has all the details about the story Hastings was working on when he died.

Hastings had not told his wife about the story “because he said he wanted to protect her from knowing anything so if anything were to happen to him nothing could happen to her,” said Dvorak.

“Despite the LAPD’s categorization of the Hasting fatal accident as a ‘no [evidence of] foul play,’ LAPD continues to ignore FOIA [CPRA in Calif.] requests made by San Diego 6 News for the police report, 9/11 call, autopsy, bomb squad and toxicology reports, or make the Mercedes available for inspection which only fuels conjecture,” added Dvorak.

Dvorak also claimed that she has been threatened for investigating Hastings’ death.

For reasons unknown, the LAPD and Los Angeles firefighters were told not to talk to the media about Hastings’ death.

Former White House counter-terrorism expert Richard Clarke stated in June that Hastings’ car crash was “consistent with a car cyber attack,” in which an automobile is actually controlled by a third party electronically.

In the video the reporter following the story Kim Dvorak said that Hastings’ attorney knows about the story he was working on and its probably CIA/NSA or Petraeus.all stuff that could get you assassinated. Kim, a great looking and brave lady, wonders where the rest of the media is on this story and says she is getting new leads almost daily.
Lots of pissed off people.
I have followed this story some,enough to recall that some reported hearing an explosion “before” the car hit a tree,suggesting it blew apart before hitting the tree.Damage also suspect of car hitting tree with entire drive train removed from the car. Mercedes hit the tree due to a really sharp turn,IMHO could be consistent with another whatever controlling the vehicle.

An ‘unidentified attorney’ with a hidden U.S. government badge? Probably. This is how they roll, especially when they’re tapping your phones and Email.

Read about this man’s death a couple of years ago. Very similar to the Hastings accident.

Apparently, cremation without permission has happened before...
