The cause of Karl's death is very controversial. For one, no shoes or socks were found with his body. Second, he provoked the wrath of the American government, an organisation not known for its compassion or decency. Third, the KGB wanted to disassociate themselves from Karl and, as the KGB were as bloodthirsty as the CIA, they could have easily killed him to finish the job. Fourth, why would anyone want to die a horrible death like that, especially someone who had access to drugs? -- 212.2.174.100 ( talk) 20:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the sentence since two unknown websites/blogs are not an acceptable source for a statement like that. somebody should come up with a more neutral way to describe his death 78.51.153.66 ( talk) 19:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC) I just saw that that somebody reverted it without any reason. well, if you want your opinion on wikipedia, all you got to do is to find a website (no matter what sort of website though) that shares your opinion 78.51.153.66 ( talk) 19:40, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I have moved this page from Hagbard, as the name Hagbard should be reserved for the original Viking hero.-- Wiglaf 09:09, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The Phrack article linked to by the article refers rather definatively to his death as taking place on June 5, not May 23. [1]
Is there any other information on this? — Xoder | ✆ 04:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm removing this page from the [[:Category:Living people|] category, since he's dead. I'm moving it, instead, into the appropriate sub category of Category:Dead people Bmearns 14:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
The article says "He is considered by some to be the inventor of the first trojan horse software." Trojan Horse software is mentioned in the paper "Multics Security Evaluation: Vulnerability Analysis", written by Paul A. Karger and Roger R. Schell and published by the US Air Force in 1974. (PDF scan at [4].) That pretty much rules Koch out as the inventor, unless he did it when he was less than 10 years old. I'm removing the claim from the article.
