GEC-Marconi scientist deaths conspiracy theory
The GEC-Marconi scientist deaths conspiracy theory states that between 1982 and 1990 twenty-five British -based GEC- Marconi scientists and engineers who worked on the Sting Ray torpedo project, and other United States Strategic Defense Initiative related projects (better known as Star Wars) died under mysterious circumstances.
Did 22 SDI Researchers really ALL Commit Suicide?
Fifty-year-old Alistair Beckham was a successful British aerospace- projects engineer. His specialty was designing computer software for sophisticated naval defense systems. Like hundreds of other British scientists, he was working on a pilot program for America's Strategic Defense Initiative--better known as Star Wars. And like at least 21 of his colleagues, he died a bizarre, violent death. It was a lazy, sunny Sunday afternoon in August 1988. After driving his wife to work, Beckham walked through his garden to a musty backyard toolshed and sat down on a box next to the door. He wrapped bare wires around his chest, attached the to an electrical outlet and put a handkerchief in his mouth. Then he pulled the switch. With his death, Beckham's name was added to a growing list of British scientists who've died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances since 1982. Each was a skilled expert in computers, and each was working on a highly classified project for the American Star Wars program. None had any apparent motive for killing himself.
In October of 1986 Arshad Sharif , who'd worked on satellite methods of detecting submarines, died from tying one end of a ligature around his neck, and the other end around a tree. He then got in his car and sped off with the gas peddle 'jammed' down. The coroner called it a suicide.
A 1987 death included Richard Pugh, who was a MOD computer consultant and a digital communications expert. He was found dead in his apartment with a bag over his head, his feet were bound and his body was tied in a rope that wrapped around his neck four times. The coroner called it an accident. Another scientist, Mark Wisner died in an extremely similar manner about three months later.
In 1986, Vimal Dajibhai was one week away from quitting Marconi. He had a new job lined up in London, and his friends and family claim he was excited for it. Then he allegedly committed suicide by jumping off a suspension bridge to his death. The original police report noted a needle-sized puncture on his left buttock. This mark was later written off as incidental to his impact. The coroner's case is still open.
In 1985 Jonathan Walsh , who'd also been a digital communications expert, died from falling out of his hotel room. Before he died, he'd expressed a fear for his life. This coroner's report is still open.
In 1987, Shani Warren wasn't a scientist, but she was a personal assistant in a company that was acquired by GEC Marconi just four short weeks after her passing. She was found drowned in 18 inches of water with a noose around her neck, a gag in her mouth, bound feet, and her hands tied around her back. Coroner's verdict is still open, but some have stated it was a suicide. That suicide would have included her binding herself, and then stumbling with bound feet and stiletto heals a short ways to her liquidy death.
A Security Guard, apparently, was doing his rounds late in that night, armed, and with his German shepherd dog came upon a strange blue light within the Top Secret Area. Upon investigating this glass-walled office, he unlocked the door and walked inside the room to find a grey coloured alien, wearing headgear out of which a blue light emanated. Allegedly, this being was rifling through all the Top Secret Documents. The shock was too much apparently for the Security Guard and what he encountered blew his mind.He was then taken to a special MoD psychiatric Hospital and never seen again!

If there were suspicious deaths of "star wars" scientists I'd blame the KGB before aliens. Remember, stopping "Star Wars" was a central priority of the USSR.

In your title and opening statement it says 25 scientists but the article you provided says "Did 22 SDI Researchers really ALL Commit Suicide?" and later goes on to talk about the other 21 deaths.
The death in 1987 really makes me wonder why a coroner would rule the death as accidental.
