A Democrat activist murdered in Washington last year,Seth Rich, was the person who leaked to Wikileaks the internal mails of the Democratic party which may have harmed Hillary Clinton's chances of being elected, according to a report by Fox News.

A number of people who harmed the power of the Clinton couple have found mysterious deaths over the course of the years according to claims by Clinton opposers, but the case of Rich did not appear to be one of them until the Fox News revelation.

Rich, a 27-year-old Jew, was murdered a few meters from his home while doing morning jogging. He was shot from behind but the killer did not steal anything from him even though he was carrying a cellphone, a wallet and a necklace worth 2000$.
