W. Mark Felt aka "Deep Throat", Dies at 95 (Watergate scandal)

The person who brought down the Nixon Administration via the famous "Watergate Scandal" has passed away.

William Mark Felt Sr. or popularly known as "Deep Throat", died on his sleep at a hospice care facility in Santa Rosa, California. He was 95 years-old.

Felt is FBI’s second-in-command during the scandal, who secretly becomes the whistleblower who leaked the sensitive information to reporters and other government officials.

Actually, Felt revealed his identity as "Deep Throat" 30 years after in a Vanity Fair issue on May 31, 2005 of John D. O'Connor's article.

Some called him a traitor for betraying the commander in chief. Other s praise him and labeled him as a hero for blowing the whistle on a corrupt administration.
