Sheriff's office says authorities have not yet concluded whether Obama DHS whistleblower's death was suicide

The Amador County Sheriff’s Office said the death of Philip Haney, a former Department of Homeland Security official during the Obama administration, is still under investigation and has not been conclusively ruled as a suicide.

“Unfortunately, there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. This is not the case. We are currently in the beginning phase of our investigation, and any final determination as to the cause and manner of Mr. Haney’s death would be extremely premature and inappropriate,” the office announced Monday night in a press statement.

“No determination will be made until all evidence is examined and analyzed,” it added.
