Some of the scheduled "interviews" of witnesses were cancelled due to untimely  "suicide" such as George De Morhenschildt, whom after speaking briefly to a reporter and also having received his reply from GHW Bush, about how to proceed at the HSCA hearings, was found dead by apparently shooting himself in the mouth with a shotgun.

List these 'scheduled witnesses' who died before they testified.

George deM was in a highly troubled mental state in 1976 it would appear. His wife was very sick and he had been predeceased by his daughter some years earlier. Nothing is worse for a parent.

His letter to Bush

"You will excuse this hand-written letter. Maybe you will be able to bring a solution to the hopeless situation I find myself in. My wife and I find ourselves surrounded by some vigilantes; our phone bugged; and we are being followed everywhere. Either FBI is involved in this or they do not want to accept my complaints. We are driven to insanity by the situation. I have been behaving like a damn fool ever since my daughter Nadya died from [cystic fibrosis] over three years ago. I tried to write, stupidly and unsuccessfully, about Lee H Oswald and must have angered a lot of people ? I do not know. But to punish an elderly man like myself and my highly nervous and sick wife is really too much. Could you do something to remove the net around us? This will be my last request for help and I will not annoy you any more. Good luck in your important job. Thank you so much."[57][58]

Why wasn't LHO a witness...?? Oh that's right. Talk about efficient, he was taken care of long before anyone. I forgot about him. What was his involvement, if any that day?

Yes, I call him Oswald's sponsor. Murder or suicide it makes no difference, but why so many? Everyone has to die. What is odd ---In the U.S.the combined murder/suicide rate is roughly 20 per 100,000 people.
