It's all gotta be there in DM's, he's got access to all of it, people asked him to look into it and directly after that he's now running polls about stepping down.
Perhaps he's planning to toss a big ole grenade on his way out the door then vanish to an undisclosed location.
well IF he did fake his death, it would be at least the third time he's done so publicly, more if you count the times they thought they killed him with gunfire or a fire.
