Only the opening could be read in Chrome: Meyer, his brother and two Belgian investors at the Grove City Cracker Barrel on 20 Mar 1998; his claim to drive a dune buggy cross-country on about 20 gallons of water. Google snippet: "The Franklin County coroner ruled that Meyer, who had high blood pressure, died of a brain aneurysm. Absent any proof of foul play, the police ..." Partial (rest not loaded).
- Columbus Dispatch, 20 Sep 2010, "Local inventor's claims inspire others to follow" (snippet: Grove City police found no evidence of foul play; some still believe he was killed). Not opened.
- PolitiFact, 3 Jun 2021, fact check on the assassination claim (snippet). Not opened.
- Wikipedia "Water fuel cell" [web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_cell]: two investors who had bought dealerships sued in 1996; Prof. Michael Laughton (Queen Mary, London) was to examine the car but Meyer offered what Laughton called a "lame excuse"; three expert witnesses found the cell "was simply using conventional electrolysis"; the court found "gross and egregious fraud" and ordered repayment of $25,000. Secondary; the court record was not reached.
Bears on claim 5 (Meyer's water capacitor) and claim 7 (Meyer's death offered by Kelly as suppression). Competing readings of the death are in the record: the coroner's finding (aneurysm, hypertension) and the brother's report that Meyer said "They poisoned me". Records to obtain: Franklin County coroner's report (1998); the 1996 Ohio Court of Common Pleas judgment (case name and number); Grove City police report.
