• Questions still remain about inventor Stanley Meyer, hydrogen car, 15 years after sudden death
By Victor Thorn
On March 20, 1998, inventor Stanley Allen Meyer bolted from a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Grove City, Ohio. Once outside in the parking lot, he slumped over and vomited, before pleading: “They poisoned me.” Later that day he died. A local coroner determined that the 57-year-old Meyer perished due to a brain aneurysm, and a three-month police investigation uncovered no evidence of foul play. Lead detective Lt. Steve Robinette stated, “Meyer’s death was laced with all sorts of stories of conspiracy, cloak-and-dagger stories.”
The impetus for these whispers of a nefarious plot arose from Meyer’s work on H20/hydrogen-fueled automobile engines.
