> Exactly. And yet you write "He was repeatedly beaten by the police" ... "this will be easily proven".
To "prove" also means to "test", so especially with the "facts are not yet in" statement that you quote, it seems charitable to assume that "this will be easily proven" was intended to mean "this will be easily shown to be true or false".

Yes, this is indeed what I meant.
(Although, the fact that something is very easy to test also makes it less likely to be claimed falsely. I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't a recorded hospitalization.)
Exactly. And yet you write "He was repeatedly beaten by the police" ... "this will be easily proven".
Your post is incredibly irresponsible. You know nothing at all of what happened, all you have are the posts of someone having a mental breakdown.
And you don't just stop at what he wrote on twitter. No, you continue with literally stuff from your own imagination:
"I believe this was murder: he died from a head injury sustained at the hands of the police."
People's lives have been ruined many many times by other people jumping to conclusions before knowing all the facts. I don't know if jumping to conclusions will hurt anyone here, but you should NOT do it. Ever.
PS. This: "but he made clear future plans which weren't executed, so this will be a lie" does not in the slightest rule out suicide. People committing suicide almost always have future plans.
