I remember very clearly when Danny was (in my opinion) killed. His death had the pre-requisite oddities of conspiracy fodder, such as he allegedly cut his wrists 12 times and one cut was so deep it severed a tendon. He was also hastily embalmed without the permission of his family, which was against West Virginia law.
Casolaro's brother "requested a second examination, which was performed by West Virginia state medical examiner Jack Frost, who stated at the same August 15 press conference that the evidence was 'not inconsistent' with suicide. At the same time, he declared that he 'could not rule out foul play' and admitted that performing a conclusive autopsy on an embalmed body is almost impossible."

I've actually wondered recently whether the Inslaw software story he was investigating as part of his Octopus theory went on to contribute to the surveillance technology that's currently monitoring us all today.
From Wikipedia: "Promis was a people-tracking program which had the power to integrate innumerable databases regardless of their languages, or regardless of their operating platforms."
for Danny.
Well, at least among a few of us, anyway. 
There was a play done back in the mid-'90s called "Octopus" that I went to see. It was based on Danny's mysterious death and how technology was becoming increasingly invasive in our lives at the time.
Here's an article about it:

One of the frustratingly mysterious details about this story (that was included in the play) was how someone dressed in a full military officer's uniform showed up at Danny's burial site and saluted the coffin before abruptly leaving. That odd detail, I believe, came from Danny's brother or a family member who was there. The mystery man left quickly before anyone could talk to him.
On edit: there was actually more to the military man story (from the Village Voice):
Even at Casolaro's funeral, the family felt engulfed by mysteries. As his mother, brothers, sisters and close friends watched from beneath a canopy, a man in a tan raincoat and a beribboned black soldier in Army dress uniform walked up to the casket. The soldier laid a medal on the lid, saluted and both men quickly walked away. No one recognized either man; Danny had never served in or covered the military. The medal was buried with the coffin.

It's been a while since I've read the details. In the play, I think they only had one guy in a uniform salute the coffin. The image stuck in my memory, I guess.
