Dr. Eugene Mallove

Dr. Eugene Mallove died on May 14, 2004, aged 56. He was found at the end of his driveway, beaten to death ruring an alleged robbery, having received several blunt-force injuries to his head and neck. An autopsy ruled his death as murder.

Mallove was an alternative energy expert who was working on viable energy alternative programs. Well respected for his knowledge of cold fusion, he had just published an "open letter" outlining the results of and reasons for his last 15 years in the field of "new energy research." At the time of his death Dr. Mallove was convinced it was only a matter of months before the world would actually see a free energy device.
