Who will be the first to Die?

He's too fat to die by gunfire. The bullets would just bounce off. Was the popping sound the buttons on his pants popping off from too many Starbucks beverages? Fat people are more prone to heart attack so he might be the first Bitcoin death.

Okay I LOL'd ...

what about people dying in defense of bitcoin, or standing up for their rights in relation to BTC ? Seems a while off before anything like this can happen.

It's not clear whether she died because of anything related to bitcoin though. Her cryptic 'final message' would seem to suggest that she succumbed to the stresses of running a business.

and her business was a bitcoin exchange.....

Who will be the first person to die for bitcoin, and how?

My guess is it's already happened.

Yeah that Bitcoin Ceo chick

There is no way of knowing that she wrote that message/willingly wrote it.
I doubt that she killed herself.

What reason would anyone else have had to want her dead? I wasn't aware of any particular controversy surrounding her or her company but then again I think the first time I heard of it was when that story first broke the news.

well the coroner confirmed suicide, so that answers all the tin foil hat answers to her death.

but there are other cases where people have been assaulted due to people wanting their crypto wealth. notably the batcoin creator:

summary:
assaulted him and went straight for his PC trying to get at his hoard

I was reading yesterday that karpeles kept his cold storage on paper wallets at home and that he didn't give any other employees access to them. It's possible that someone broke into his house and stole those wallets. This guy spent the last few months before bankruptcy planning a bitcoin cafe and coming up with his own recipes for pastries. Just doesn't seem like he stole those coins, he was caught completely off guard. I'd be investigating those employees who knew where he stored his paper wallets.
