Michael Beck, 65, who was the first government official to report symptoms of Havana Syndrome, has died. The former NSA counterintelligence officer was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's at 45, which he attributed to a 1996 exposure during a classified mission.
"The National Security Agency confirms that there is intelligence information from 2012 associating the hostile country to which Mr. Beck traveled in the late 1990s with a high-powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate, or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence."
