Pallbearers at Casolaro’s funeral Evidence against Vagueness of the allegationsĭespite Casolaro’s general thesis having a credible tinge to it, it lacks detail and no solid evidence has ever emerged to definitely link the multiple seemingly disparate events that made up his Octopus. Antidepressants were found in Casolaro’s blood, yet he had no history of depression and had never been prescribed the drugs. The toxicology report also came under scrutiny. This was echoed by an attending paramedic who told investigators - “I’ve never seen such deep incisions on a suicide… I don't know how he didn't pass out from the pain after the first two slashes.”
One pathologist who studied the autopsy noted the lack of hesitance marks and the savage, deep nature of the cuts to Casolaro’s wrists as been highly unusual. Paramedics and medical professionals found problematic details in the suicide. On one occasion, his housekeeper fielded multiple calls in the space of a few hours, one in which a voice said he was going to cut Casolaro’s body up and “throw it to the sharks”. Suspiciously, the large accordion file with Casolaro’s notes and evidence was missing.Ĭasolaro had also been complaining to friends about anonymous death threats he had been receiving.
However, friends, family and some investigators immediately doubted the verdict. Casolaro’s suspicious death Danny CasolaroĬasolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub, seemingly having slit his wrists and bled to death. Whilst the full extent of Casolaro’s Octopus is in dispute, it is based on several real events. Had Casolaro stumbled upon a vast criminal conspiracy? Evidence for The Inslaw scandalĬasolaro’s starting point for his investigation was a real criminal case - a wide-ranging Washington scandal involving allegations that the US Government had stolen software company Inslaw’s PROMIS program and added illegal back doors in order to spy on foreign governments.Ĭasolaro called his conspiracy ‘Octopus’ for a reason, as he followed the trail from PROMIS to reveal a much larger story, one that encompassed such seemingly disparate events as the October surprise, the collapse of bank BBCI and the illegal drugs and arms trade - all orchestrated by a secret cabal of global elites. The cause of Casolaro’s death itself was disputed, with many authors and investigators regarding the suicide verdict with scepticism, leading to suspicions that Casolaro was silenced because of what he had discovered about The Octopus.
The exact nature and extent of Casolaro’s Octopus, or whether it existed at all has been subject to much debate and speculation since. Danny Casolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub at the Sheraton hotel in August 1991 - the official verdict was suicide.Īt the time of his death, he was investigating a sprawling criminal conspiracy he labelled ‘The Octopus’.
