This news refueled speculation on author Michael Hastings’ death in 2013.

Author Michael Hastings was a vocal critic of the Obama administration, Democratic Party and surveillance state. In 2013 during the investigation of reporters by the U.S. Department of Justice Hastings referred to the restrictions on the freedom of the press by the Obama administration as a “war” on journalism. His last story, “Why Democrats Love to Spy On Americans”, was published by BuzzFeed on June 7.

Hastings told his neighbor he believed his Mercedes had been tampered with, according to a report.

In a lengthy profile by LA Weekly, Hastings’ neighbor Jordanna Thigpen says he knocked on her door after midnight and asked to borrow her Volvo because he was afraid to drive his own car. “He was scared, and he wanted to leave town,” she told the weekly newspaper. She declined, saying her car was in need of repairs.

Hastings died later that night. He lost control of his car.
