Captain Michael Gorhum Of San Antonio Police Department Who Killed Himself Over Ashley Madison's Leak Was Not In The List After All!

Late Captain Michael Gorhum

A police officer who committed suicide after being linked to the Ashley Madison leak was not a user, it has been revealed. It is believed that Captain Michael Gorhum, who was found dead with gunshot wounds in a church car park, may actually have been the victim of a smear campaign by an anti-police blog. Gorhum’s San Antonio Police email address was published in a list of supposed Ashley Madison users on website Cop Block which is known for publishing content heavily critical of police, metro.co.uk reports.

But an investigation by MailOnline disclose that his email address is not in the leaked database of Ashley Madison which helps arrange extra marital affairs. In fact it was only published on August 20 on one obscure chat forum before being repeated later that day by Cop Block, a website which purports to highlight police 'abuse and corruption', and which is run by an anarchist who calls himself 'Ademo Freeman'.

 

His real name is Adam Mueller and the 33-year-old lives in Mayville, Wisconsin. He refused to disclose how he had obtained the purported list of official .gov email addresses, but it does not correspond to others published elsewhere, or to the full leak of the Ashley Madison data, which has been seen by Daily Mail Online.

 

The man who runs the Cop Block site - a 33-year-old self-proclaimed 'keyboard warrior' refused to take any blame for the death. Mueller is an anarchist who has been photographed with 'F*** the police' signs, and who set up the Cop Block website to 'highlight abuse'. He calls himself a 'victim of the war on drugs' as he has two convictions for drug possession.

 

The anarchist, originally from Wisconsin, where he had a real estate license, and now living in Cleveland, Ohio, regularly updates both Cop Block and Facebook with anti-police tirades and posts news reports of police shootings and alleged excessive force. In one message over a photograph of a wrecked police car, he has the message: 'The news calls it an accident. I call it karma.'
