CNBC notes the apparent cause of death of the recently popular BP skeptic, and founder of oil company Simmons & Co., was a heart attack. A conflicting report according to WLBZ cites the source of death as drowning.

NORTH HAVEN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Knox County Sheriff's Department says Matthew Simmons, the founder of the Ocean Energy Institute, drowned at his house on North Haven late Sunday night.

Simmons was a leading investment banker for the energy industry and had recently retired to work full time on the new Ocean Energy Institute.

He was a leading proponent of offshore wind power and had started raising money to develop and build offshore turbines.

Matt Simmons had recently got attention for his dire calls about the fate of the Gulf of Mexico .
The debate about the effect of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill -- he thought it would be cataclysmic -- lead him to split with his old firm, Simmons & Co., of which he was the chairman emeritus.

Simmons has been blowing the whistle on the oil giant since shortly after its explosion. He experienced the same heavy-handed bullying all whistleblowers do.
A standard operating procedure that corporate hired thugs use is the discrediting of truth-espousing leaders providing information in the best interest of the public. The media is a common tool for achieving this. For weeks, Simmons has faced dozens if not hundreds of media reports naming him, "Dr. Doom."
Parrish highlights that just last week, "Fortune magazine's headline to its June 9 interview with Simmons read, 'The Gulf Coast Oil Spill's Dr. Doom,'"

Matt was very vocal on several nationwide news programs making claims that have led some people to question his sanity along with blowing the whistle on BP and Government on several issues.

Matt Simmons was very well connected to other oil industry insiders and top government officials in charge of regulating the oil industry.

As a result of those connections Matt has blew the whistle on several lies BP and Government where telling to the public.

Matt called the claims that only 5,000 barrels of oil were leaking preposterous and instead conjectured there must be at least a minimum of 120,000 barrels of oil per leaking into the Gulf.

Matt also reported that there were leaks 5 to 7 miles away which were later confirmed by a NOAA report issued by the Thomas Jefferson.
