Dead men tell no tales?
I feel that this isn't the best analysis. It seems to imply that Assange knows something, and I don't believe that he does, in the sense of things that he hasn't already reported (openly to the world journalistically using the Wikileaks outlet). Or that his testimony would be valuable somewhere, which again seems unlikely given that he was merely the editor of a periodical.
It leans too much into the cult of personality around him.
With the rape situations alone if he were / would die they could easily try to push to make it look highly accurate and/or highly true to say the least. Assange or Julian Assange wouldn't be able to back himself up in a court of law and/or defend himself to state / give full proof of where he was during those times / situations alone to say the least.
Anything they could try to manipulate and/or change from the past to make him look like the bad guy and/or discredit / character assassinate him to make it look like a mistake and/or wikileaks for that matter a mistake.
If not new stuff to as well about his angry outbreaks while at the embassy or stuff like that to as well. Discredit / character assassinate him that way to as well.
I'm not sure myself, but I wonder about this for now. Only time will tell.

This I find unlikely. Assange was the enemy of the previous administration. I find it unlikely that Trump has it in for him. I also find little point in assassinating Assange's character. In the hearts of his followers, Assange is a great man. Most of the rest of us have forgotten about him. (Character) Assassination would do them little good.
I feel as though I'm talking to one of his fans. Assange lived a great life. He grew up under difficult circumstances. He had little chance for a normal life, and it wouldn't have appealed to him anyway. For him this is better, and for a warrior death on the battlefield is a blessing, not a problem.
I don't feel as though people can truly harm him at this point.
If you're interested in a conspiracy theory? I think that Assange (more or less) turned himself in so that he could get tried and convicted, and serve a short sentence and get on with his life, such as remains. Wikileaks can't be very exciting for him anymore.
