"Some allege that he was assassinated by the Imperial Japanese authorities for his outspoken criticism of Japanese expansionist tendencies; others point out that he seems to have suffered from alcoholism and could conceivably have died of cirrhosis of the liver or some other alcohol-related disease."
See
WP:WEASEL. The references section contains books by only one author, so I wonder who is behind these claims. This may be speculation. A citation should be found, or the sentence removed. Omphaloscopetalk12:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)reply
I agree with your concerns and will say that there is no evidence that the Japanese had anything to do with his death other than speculation that has arisen in the post war years. His alcoholism is a known thing throughout the Marine Corps (and I know it is documented somewhere) so I do not doubt it but I removed it until it has a source. Cheers--
