A young scientist was discovered dead after claiming her life might be at risk in another instance of puzzling deaths and disappearances in recent years, with US President Donald Trump confirming authorities are examining the incidents.

Amy Eskridge, 34, reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Huntsville, Alabama on 11 June 2022.

Neither police nor medical examiners have publicly disclosed any details of an investigation into her death.

Her death is one of 11 individual connected to US space or nuclear intelligence who has died or mysteriously disappeared in recent years.

Amy was researching and attempting to develop anti-gravity technology, an achievement which could revolutionise space travel and energy production.

In 2020, she said she was planning to present ground-breaking foundational research about antigravity but needed clearance from NASA.

Following her death, an interview has surfaced in which Amy herself, alongside independent findings submitted to Congress, alleged that the death was not suicide but rather a murder conspiracy, reports the Mirror .

US President Donald Trump, responding to a reporter on Thursday, 16 April about 10 scientists who had already disappeared or been discovered dead, said: "I hope it's random, but we're going to know in the next week and a half." "Pretty serious stuff...

Some of them were very important people, and we're going to look at it over the next short period." Amy also co-founded a research company, The Institute for Exotic Science, to enable a "public-facing persona to disclose anti-gravity technology." She established the institute alongside her father, Richard Eskridge, a retired NASA engineer who specialised in plasma physics and fusion technology.

She is quoted as saying: "If you stick your neck out in public, at least someone notices if your head gets chopped off.

"If you stick your neck out....
