With all the history I’ve read, this is the first I’ve heard of a murder/suicide in FDR’s death.
Not trying to pick a fight, but everybody of his inner circle knew he had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peal.
Even in February at the Yalta Conference, both Stalin and Churchill knew he was a live cadaver in a wheelchair. Probably the only guy who didn’t know was Truman.
For the second in command to be kept totally in the dark about matters of security tells you a lot about FDR. Many people of “The Greatest Generation” revered FDR, but if you read deeper into the story, you lose most of your respect for him.

"Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden
