In the early morning of Sept. 10, a passer-by found Gopalan, 35, dead on a sidewalk just a few blocks from his home in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington. He was wearing women's clothing and makeup, The Washington Blade reported. While police first reported there were no visible signs of injury, the D.C. Medical Examiner's office ruled Gopalan's death a homicide from blunt force trauma to the head Tuesday, according to the Blade.
Gopalan was born in India on December 6, 1975, and moved across the globe to Washington in 1998. Shortly after his arrival, Gopalan came to this university's Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center as a graduate research assistant. Led by engineering professor Fred Schmitz,
he extensively researched aeroacoustics — the study of how to redesign helicopter blades to quiet the rotors' loud noise.

This reminds me of a story I heard about some military guy who was in fear of being killed for secrets he knew, and told his wife of his concerns. Sure enough soon after he was killed in a car crash. He was found in bdsm gear or womens underwear or something with his nipples sliced off. They blamed the weird clothes and nipples on claiming he was into twisted sex. Initially, his death was ruled a suicide. The report was about how someone had vindicated him and changed the cause to murder.
I believe certain agents do stuff like dress people up in women's clothes in order to discredit them in case the secrets they are trying to hide get out even though the person has been killed. And it's already working in this thread, posters are already making the guy out to be a ridiculous tranny.
Captain Michael Farish of the Washington, D.C. Metro Police Department told India-West a passer-by found Gopalan lying dead on the ground at 5:20 a.m. Gopalan had no facial lacerations or bruises, said Farish, explaining that he could have received a slight blow to the head , causing a ruptured artery which could lead to a slow bleed. "If it's a slow bleed, you don't fall right down," said Farish, a 28-year veteran with the force. No gunshot wounds or stab wounds were found on Gopalan's body, he added, noting that a complete autopsy, with toxicology reports, is expected to be finished in three to five weeks.
Gopalan had begun to dress in women's clothing only 10 weeks before his death, said Shaeffer, adding that the Delhi native was experimenting with a side of himself,
Gopalan's credit card and driver's license were missing from his wallet, but more than $130 in cash was found on his body, said Shaeffer. Farish confirmed that Gopalan had no identifying information, but did have cash on his person.

Here is a description of the injury that killed him, it does not sound like a very efficient way to bump someone off.

Gopalan's partner said that he began experimenting with cross dressing around 10 weeks before his death, so the idea that government spooks dressed him up as a tart and dumped the body looks rather absurd.

There was clear evidence of robbery, credit cards and drivers licence were missing but some cash was still in the pockets, sugesting the robber got spooked and ran off?

His main area of research was aeroacoustics — the study of how to redesign helicopter blades to quiet the rotors' loud noise. Hardly the kind of thing you would associate with government sanctioned assassination. This appears to be nothing more than an opportunistic mugging in which the poor guy lost his life, there is no evidence for any conspiracy here at all.

Haven't we heard an awful lot of scientists turning up dead lately? It seems downright hazardous to one's health in a number of military or cutting edge industrial fields. Hmmmm
