There are some conspiracy theories floating around the deaths of Boris Floricic [1] and Karl Koch [2]. Especially the latter one is often connected to the KGB due to his involvement as a hacker during the cold war.

Wasn't familiar with them. The notion that Koch burned himself to death with gasoline as a means of suicide is absurd.
