As the sender of the second message - it was a caution that people
should investigate, not a statement that it didn't happen.
All of the evidence I could gather indicate that it did, in fact, happen
in at least some form. At the very least, other employees (whom I have
know for years) said that he was gone, as of the date in question. They
were not told the cause (as would be expected in most companies).
Granted, believeing this means you'd have to trust *my* legwork. Or do
your own. However, the 'almost' case certainly can't be argued. Just
check the archives for the number of folks who've posted at the end of
some thread about being 'asked to stop'.
