what happened to stanley meyer

Stanley Meyer was an inventor who claimed to have invented a water fuel cell that could power a car. He gained public attention and investors with his revolutionary technology, but in 1996 he was taken to court in Ohio for fraud on account that the fuel cell was using the already developed technology of the electrolysis fuel cell, and was just being marketed as an original idea. Additionally, there was no evidence, besides eyewitness reports, that the car actually ran. Stanley Meyer died suddenly on March 20, 1998, while dining at a restaurant. His brother claimed that during a meeting with two Belgian investors, Meyer suddenly ran outside, saying "They poisoned me." After an investigation, the Grove City police agreed with the Franklin County coroner report that ruled that Meyer, who had high blood pressure, died of a cerebral aneurysm. Some of Meyers supporters believe that he was assassinated. The toxicology reports showed no traces of poison, but Meyer claimed to have received several threats from oil companies, as well as bribes of millions of dollars if he would destroy all of his evidence.
