Its actually insane because its obvious theres a reason the info is not disclosed, it was reviewed by the supreme court, yet curiosity overrides national security.

The Australians don't believe he hung himself....
They think Israel used some sort of technology because the Israeli's can practically monitor the prisoners heartbeat.

The disclosure came at the end of a day of extraordinary new details about the alleged double life of Zygier. It emerged that Zygier had been confronted shortly before his arrest by Australian journalist Jason Koutsoukis of Fairfax newspapers, who accused him of being a spy.
Koutsoukis told the Guardian Zygier had been identified to him as one of three Australian-Israeli citizens working for the Mossad under the cover of a European front company that sold electronic equipment to Iran.

Any reason this isn't in JS?

They made a 30 min video about absolutely nothing!

How's this for a conspiracy theory:

He also said Zygier was under investigation by the Australian intelligence services and was close to being arrested for using his Australian passport for espionage.

He's not really dead, they just faked it to end the foreign investigation into him.

It's easier dead than done. (Dumb pun intended)

I cant understand why neither his family in Israel or his family in Australia are speaking out! Why would that possibly be?
From ynet:
He is listed as the son of Geoffrey Zygier, the executive director of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission based in Melbourne.

Zygier's father and his uncle, Willy Zygier, declined to comment on Thursday.

Edit:
In a different report, ynet writes:
Moreover, Zygier's defense attorneys – as well as his family – were required to sign confidentially and nondisclosure agreements vis-à-vis the State; which now prevents them from confirming or denying any of the details.

So the question still asks why would the family agree to such a request, and specifically at this point why is his family in Australia still remaining quiet?

Errr perhaps the family is concerned for the security of Israel?

Maybe the conspiricy is so deep and Israel has threatened the family

So if his father in Australia talks, Israel will arrest his wife in Israel? At this point that everyone is talking about it, I dont see how Israel will be able to do so.
