Steven Carr was an US mercenary who said he saw cocaine stored with arms for the Nicaraguan Contras.[1]
Activities
"Carr was scheduled to testify in two contra-related trials in Florida and, it was rumored, at some future congressional hearings. But how important a witness was he? At one point, when no one else was talking, he was very important; at the time of his death, increasingly less so. He was one of 28 witnesses scheduled to appear at a trial stemming from the 1984 bombing of an Eden Pastora press conference in La Penca, Nicaragua[2]
He was also a witness in another case involving alleged guns-for-drugs trading with the contras.[2]
Death
Carr was pronounced dead at 4:05 on the morning of Dec. 13., 1986. A preliminary report filed by a coroner’s investigator at 6:40 the same morning suggested that his death might have been either an accident or a suicide: “A possible o.d., cocaine,” the investigator had scribbled. No note was found.[2]
