ALERT: Man Trump Hired To Lower Drug Prices FOUND DEAD<\/strong><\/h1>\n

By Staff Writer
\nThe Beltway Reporter<\/p>\n

ICYMI: Opinion|\u00a0 \u00a0Cleveland.com<\/b><\/a> has reported that Daniel Best, a former pharmaceutical executive hired by President Trump\u2019s Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and charged with finding ways to lower prescription drug prices, has killed himself.<\/p>\n

Best joined HHS in March. \u00a0Two months ago, Best delivered a speech outlining ways to lower costs, make it easier for generics and biosimilar drugs to enter the market, and rethinking drug rebate programs that serve to drive up prices.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n

Call me overly suspicious but the circumstances surrounding Best\u2019s death, and the coroner\u2019s official cause raise red flags for this intrepid reporter. \u00a0Especially when looking for a motive for his \u201csuicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Washington D.C.\u2019s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Best died from \u201cmultiple blunt force injuries\u201d and ruled his death a suicide<\/b><\/a>. \u00a0No further information was released.<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m channeling Danny Reagan, but the cause of death just isn\u2019t consistent with suicide. \u00a0People just don\u2019t beat themselves to death.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the fact Best probably would\u2019ve poisoned himself using his vast knowledge of, and ready access to, lethal drugs.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also no mention of marital difficulties or other life-challenging events that may signal depression.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, in announcing Best\u2019s death, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said the 49-year-old former CVS Health and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals executive agreed to work at HHS \u201cout of a desire to serve the American people by making health care more affordable.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

That makes it sound like Best was a man on a mission, not someone planning his own demise.<\/p>\n
