Part 5/7:
Speculations surrounding the motive for Thompson’s murder abound. Reports indicate that bullet casings recovered at the scene bore phrases like "deny, defend, and depose." These words may resonate with criticisms directed at large healthcare firms regarding their practices and strategies to minimize financial obligations to patients. This connection has ignited conversations on social media platforms, but authorities have not confirmed whether Thompson's high-profile position at United Healthcare was tied to his murder.
In light of the incident, many healthcare companies are taking precautionary measures, including removing leadership pages from their websites that display photos and names of executive teams, indicating a heightened sense of vulnerability among industry leaders.
