Was Rudolph Diesel murdered?

Question

or did he commit suicide or accidentally fall off a ship?

Answer 1

Of course. No good deed is left unrewarded.

"Rudolf Diesel, who invented the diesel engine, probably was bumped off by the German secret service. His turn-of-the-century engine was key to the new German weapon, the U-boat. In 1913 he headed for England to talk business with the British admiralty. He got on the Channel ferry but he did not get off. His body was never found."
