A former Department of Homeland Security whistleblower's death two years ago that generated a flurry of right-wing conspiracy theories envisioning a deep-state murder plot was officially ruled a suicide by a Northern California sheriff-coroner.
Evidence found during the investigation into Philip Haney's death has now spurred a new investigation into how he obtained 'contraband' documents.
Haney, 66, was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the chest on February 21, 2020, in a park-and-ride lot along a busy state highway in a rural area of Amador County, east of Sacramento.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office has ruled that Philip Haney, a former senior Department of Homeland Security official and a vocal critic of the Obama administration, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2020

He was a former DHS national security official for 15 years and self-described whistleblower critical of the Obama administration's handling of terrorism-related cases.
Investigators discovered Haney’s car parked next to his body, a folding chair he appeared to collapse from, a suicide note on the dashboard of the vehicle, and a loaded .40 caliber Sig Sauer handgun with one spent shell casing near the gun.
