I was intending to release the information, so releasing it when I'm dead seems fine.

So why didn't I immediately publish it all while alive? Perhaps I preferred to control the flow of information, redact certain parts, or extort the organisation I was blowing the whistle on. None of those seem all that important to me compared to deterring people from assassinating me in the first place.

Right. There's no reason to let your opponent see the cards you're holding.
