Former Trump advisor's father's death in Philadelphia labeled 'suspicious': multiple agencies invest

Source: WPVI 6ABC.com

According to sources, the Philadelphia police homicide unit, the Philadelphia district attorney, the Attorney General's office and the health department are all investigating the death of former National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster's father 84-year-old H.R. McMaster, Sr.

It is being investigated as a suspicious death.

McMaster died on April 13 at Cathedral Village in the 600 E. block of Cathedral Rd in Roxborough. He was receiving care there after suffering a stroke.

The allegations are that McMaster fell, hit his head, was put in a chair and then died. He allegedly did not receive proper care.

A message meant for the younger McMaster?

Knocking off loved ones of the intended target - rather than the target himself - is a typical mafia/autocratic state tactic.

All the Best to the McMasters.

My great-grandmother went that way (God rest her).

Still, being McMaster's father - and how much McMaster himself must know about Cheeto's Russian dealings - one can't help but suspect this might have been a 'keep quiet' message.

Probably not; but just maybe.

McMasters was already put out to pasture by the administration. This is Alex Jone's level conspiracy talk of the highest order. Thoughts and prayers to his family. In spite of his association with this administration, McMasters is actually one of the good guys.

I am surprised at the allegation as that place never had any issues that made the news. It's not that far from where I live.

As a note, the facility is in the Roxborough neighborhood of the city on the grounds of what started out as a modern day enormous gothic-style Episcopal Cathedral that was being constructed and at some point during the construction, they stopped work due to the cost, finished off what they could, and that was that (and it became St. Mary's Episcopal Church). The Cathedral Village (with assisted living and other apartments) was added as part of that complex. One of the Emeritus priests from my church is there (she is in her 90s).

The portion in the blue circle is all that had been completed on the Cathedral before they gave up.
