Frank Olson

He went out a hotel window nine days after being dosed. The family's exhumation said: struck first.

The Fort Detrick biochemist dosed with LSD at Deep Creek Lake (November 19, 1953, confirmed in the Colby-era disclosures) who went out a thirteenth-floor window of the Statler Hotel nine days later. The family accepted 'suicide' until the 1975 revelations; Ford apologized in the Oval Office; the 1994 exhumation (forensic pathologist James Starrs) found a pre-fall hematoma consistent with a blow, re-ruling the manner 'unknown.' A 2012 lawsuit surfaced the CIA's own assassination-manual language ('the most efficient accident... a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface,' 1953). The node is the mind-control file's one open homicide question with a federal apology attached.
