Weighing explanations for General Sikorski's death

Accident or human error receives more weight than assassination, while Soviet involvement remains an unproven possibility.

Question

Was the crash that killed General Sikorski an accident, a Soviet assassination, or the work of another Allied service?

Short answer

Accident or error is the stronger explanation; Soviet involvement is possible but unproven, and other Allied involvement is doubtful.

Notes

The Gibraltar air crash that killed General Wladyslaw Sikorski may have been an accident or an assassination. Ordinary accident or human error receives the strongest weight in this brief assessment. A Soviet assassination remains possible without being established, while involvement by another Allied service is doubtful. The answer ranks hypotheses without claiming certainty.
