The main controversy surrounding Robin Cook's death is the conspiracy theory that his death was not an accident, but rather that he was murdered by security services due to his opposition to the Iraq War
. While official sources confirmed he died of a heart attack, with a post-mortem finding hypertensive heart disease, prominent figures like former MP Norman Baker have publicly expressed skepticism and suggested his death was "convenient" for the government. This skepticism has been fueled by Cook's public criticism of the Iraq War and a subsequent fight to release more details of the incident through freedom of information requests.
