A GOP operative who admitted to working with Russian hackers in an effort to get dirt on Hillary Clinton killed himself just days after he went public with the info, it was revealed on Thursday.

Peter W. Smith, 81, checked into a Minnesota hotel room in May carrying a ream of documents and a suicide note before putting a bag over his head and filling it with helium, according to the Chicago Tribune.

His remains were discovered on May 14 with a suicide note that claimed he was in bad health and his “LIFE INSURANCE OF $5 MILLION” was about to expire.

Smith had given an interview to the Wall Street Journal just days earlier about his effort to obtain 33,000 of Clinton’s missing emails from Russians.

The report said he implied to associates he was working with Michael Flynn, who was a Trump campaign adviser at the time.

Smith told the Journal he had found five groups of hackers — two from Russia — who had claimed to have the missing emails.

Clinton had claimed that the emails were deleted because they were of personal nature.

More than 100,000 emails from her tenure as secretary of state were eventually posted online by the State Department.
