Interesting to me is that although this is definitely London news not a dicky-bird from mainstream media in Britain or mention of police.
Just in case you haven't caught up with it, from 16 August, another "co-incidence"

'Assange kill attempt'? Unknown man climbs Ecuador's London embassy, sheltering WikiLeaks chief
RT,
22 August, 2016
Social
media users are in a panic after WikiLeaks said an unknown man had
climbed the Ecuadorian embassy in London where Julian Assange has
been staying for four years. Users suggested that it was probably an
assassination attempt, “ordered by Clinton.”
“…At
2:47am an unknown man scaled the side wall [and the] window of the
Ecuadorian embassy in London; fled after being caught by security,” a
statement from WikiLeaks said early Monday morning.

Male intruder at 2.47am climbed this wall of the Ecuadorian embassy in London where Assange has asylum
Later
the group said that the intruder was “male” and
he climbed the Ecuadorian embassy where “Assange
has asylum.”
19 mins ago at 2:47am an unknown man scaled the side wall+window of the Ecuadorian embassy in London; fled after being caught by security.
Though
WikiLeaks hasn’t stated the reason for such an intrusion, users on
social media suggested that it was definitely “an
assassination attempt” on
Assange.

@wikileaks attempted assassination you think?
Phil Nicolas James
@wikileaks I believe the proper term is "assassin"
Others
suggested that the Democratic Party's presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton was behind ‘the
assassination attempt’.

Probably
some of them remembered that in July this year WikiLeaks said it
would release “a lot
more” documents
to surprise American voters ahead of the upcoming presidential
elections - and will not hesitate to make them public.
And
the users started suspecting not only Hillary, but the while Clinton
family.
Others
suggested that US President Barack Obama was to blame for
the ‘assassination
attempt’ on
the WikiLeaks founder.
Some
users worried not only about Assange, but also his kitten, which has
been living with him since May this year. So far, the furry feline is
being affectionately referred to as simply ‘Embassy
Cat’ and
has been keeping its nearly 16,000 followers updated on life within
the embassy with witty tweets about #counterpurrveillance.
Anyway,
social media users called on the Australian WikiLeaks co-founder to
stay alive!
Assange
has been living at the Ecuadorian embassy since 2012, under constant
surveillance by British law enforcement. He was granted asylum after
arguing that his extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for
questioning regarding allegations of sexual assault against two women
in 2010 - which he has always denied – would lead to a further
extradition to the United States.
He
says that if he goes to Sweden, the US will managed to secure his
extradition over espionage charges related to his work for WikiLeaks.
He insists that the website defends human rights and exposes illegal
actions by revealing classified material to public scrutiny.
In
February, a UN panel ruled that Assange has been “arbitrarily
detained” in
the Ecuadorian embassy in London, calling upon the UK and Sweden to
end Assange’s deprivation of liberty. However, both UK and Sweden
rejected the ruling.
Earlier
this month, Ecuador said that it would allow Swedish officials
interview Julian Assange in connection with rape allegations against
him at the embassy in London. The agreement was apparently reached
after Ecuador’s attorney-general greenlit the Swedish government’s
request, made back in June, to interview the WikiLeaks co-founder.
Married
father of two John Jones, QC, worked at renowned legal chambers,
Doughty Street and died last Monday morning. Police say they are not
treating the death as suspicious.
The
48-year-old barrister has been described as “a giant in his field”
by colleagues, who said that his death is “a monumental loss to the
cause of international justice and human rights.....A statement from
British Transport Police said officers attended West Hampstead rail
station at 7.07 on Monday morning after a man was struck by a train.
It
said: “He was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s death is
not being treated as suspicious. A file will be prepared for the
coroner.”
