I sincerely hope it was a death by natural causes :/

Me too. But I'm also an adult capable of independent thought, and I thereby know there's a 99.9999999% chance that's not the case. It'd be some coincidence if the whistle-blower mysteriously died a week after all this began. Just like Ken Caminiti mysteriously died shortly after telling Sports Illustrated that dozens of baseball players were doing steroids.
The government, police and Murdoch's empire all have stake in the outcome. He knew very well he was likely sacrificing his life for this. You do not cross paths with any of these groups of people, never mind all three at once. They will take care of you if you do.

Sad but true. And you can add the Monarchy to that too. Ask Princess Diana.....no, wait.....

Sean Hoare did have a notable history of drug and alcohol abuse, so I wouldn't dismiss natural causes just yet, but I agree that it *is* suspicious.

why are the Murdochs STILL paying the fees of a convicted private investigator/hacker?

There are really a lot of bad apples in the British police force - they not only have corrupted apples, they also have bad apples who cannot properly guard the place where the MPs question the Murdochs. Amazing !

So that he doesn't show the authorities any documents with Rupert Murdoch's signature on them?

I'm not going so far as to say that this was staged, but, taking the security measures guarding parliament into account, this shaving-cream-pie incident was definitely allowed to happen by the security people. Whether it was done as a really stupid attempt to get to Murdoch or as a really clever way of diverting attention from his involvement by his friends remains to be seen.

That is unfortunately pretty much true :(

Getting the police to investigate this is a bit like letting the catholic church investigate child abuse by their clergy.
