Top U.S. intelligence officials killed the man in June in front of his frightened new wife in the front yard.
Anthony Ming Shinella, 52, died in Arlington, Virginia, on June 14, but his death was not widely reported until this week, when a report by a medical examiner released by Intercept suggested that the cause of his death was a gunshot wound to death.
Schwanella was a few weeks away from retiring as national intelligence officer for military issues after a long CIA career, and a few weeks before his marriage, his newly married wife was Sara Cocoran, a journalist.
Korkoren said she was in her car in the driveway of their home, trying to escape from Shinella when she witnessed suicide, according to The Intercept.

Anthony Ming Shinella, 52, died June 14 in Arlington, Virginia. A report by a medical examiner found that a senior intelligence officer had died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Shwenella’s new wife Sara Kokor (left and right with him) said she was in the driveway of their home in her car, trying to get away from Shinella when she committed suicide.
The widow did not disclose further details about the events leading up to Shinela’s death.
Korkoren said that after Shinela’s death, she found a large collection of slavery and S&M gear hidden in her house.
He also discovered 24 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Korkoren said the CIA has completed an investigation into Shinela’s death, but the agency has not given him any details.
Shinella was the highest-ranking military analyst in the U.S. intelligence community, and was also a member of the powerful National Intelligence Committee.
He was an expert on the Taliban’s military capabilities, and died shortly before the New York Times reported on June 26 that Russia had paid the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan.

Following the report, NIC drafted a memo, claiming that intelligence about the Botswana was undecided.
The memo did not mention that NIC’s top military analyst and Taliban expert had killed himself just a few days earlier.
In tribute to Schwanella, published in Civic atch, Corkor wrote that he had “amazing intelligence and a heroic work principle.”
“They traveled to more than 100 countries on six continents, spoke many languages and were able to pick the basics of any language before going to the airport,” he wrote.
Shinela has also survived by two daughters in a previous marriage.
In an article for CityWatch last week, Korkoren suggested that her husband saw Russia as a diversion, and China as a real foreign threat to the United States.
“My husband Tony and I have often discussed China’s growing influence in the American public sphere, as well as in other parts of the world,” she wrote.
In tribute to Schwanella, Corkor wrote that he had a “surprising intelligence and heroic work ethic.”
‘China was one of our shared interests, as it was semi-Chinese and I got my MBA from a business school in Shanghai.’
Korkoren said that before his death, Shinella recommended that he read Clive Hamilton’s 2019 book Silent Invasion, which documents China’s aggressive attempts to shape Australian Australian politics and culture.
“My husband was a keen identifier and observer of stealth influences compared to current media trends, but his awareness is assured,” she wrote.
‘Our conversation is with the Chinese security services or the PLA. (People’s Liberation Army) focuses on how its operations are centered, and how it supports influence campaigns aimed at universities, politicians and public sentiment in Australia. ‘
‘So, while many of us here in the United States are engaged in a campaign of Russian influence, it turns out that the Chinese are squeezing down on our ally Oz; And indeed the main threat to Australia’s national security interests comes from its largest trading partner in the North West: China. ‘
