Ex-Microsoft Worker Charged In Theft Dies

from the that's-odd dept

Back in December, it made a lot of news about a Microsoft employee who was accused of stealing $9 million worth of software by ordering it for free internally at Microsoft and then reselling it via a computer store. The guy didn't seem too bright as he advertised all of his expensive cars, boats, motorocycle and jewelry on his website. Today, however, comes a report that the 32-year-old (now former) Microsoft employee has died of "multiple organ failure". Not much in the way of details at this point.

    According to the article in the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
    His family said he suffered multiple organ failure and had previous medical problems.
    ...but it goes on to say that the local medical examiner is awaiting toxicology results that will take weeks to complete.
