ATM hacker dies of drugs

Barnaby Jack, a 35-year-old information security specialist who died under suspicious circumstances this summer, was not killed by CIA agents, as conspiracy theorists have claimed. A coroner's report listed the cause of death as "acute mixed drug poisoning."

The forensic report presented by TheVerge shows that the hacker died from an overdose of cocaine, heroin, alprazolam, and diphenhydramine.

Jack died shortly before his presentation at the 2013 Black Hat conference on remotely hacking medical devices, such as insulin pumps and pacemakers.

Shortly after his sudden death, since there was no official news about how he died, many suspected the involvement of some US secret service, such as the CIA.

Below is Barnaby Jack's video presentation of an ATM hack.
