5. Rafael Prieto
In 2012, a top Secret Service agent in charge of the security detail’s New York office was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning after having left his car running in his garage. Rafael Prieto had recently been discovered to be cheating on his wife with a Mexican woman and was also reported to have been close to releasing classified information to Hollywood producers working on a movie featuring the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. He was also linked to the Cartagena Secret Service prostitution scandal, although he was proven not have been in the city at the time that the incident occurred. It seems strange that a man of such high stature would take his own life after having been discovered cheating.
