SOUTHMOOR, ENGLAND - Police have tentatively identified the body found Friday in a wooded area near Oxford as that of Iraq weapons expert David Kelly.


David Kelley
Kelly was reported missing by his wife Thursday night when he failed to return from an afternoon walk.

Kelly, 59, appeared before a parliamentary committee earlier this week to face questions over a May 29 BBC story that claimed government aides had doctored intelligence on Iraqi weapons to strengthen the case for war.

The television report said that the British government had ignored advice from experts who doubted that Iraq could deploy some chemical and biological weapons in 45 minutes.

The BBC refused to reveal its sources but did say that its source did not work for the Ministry of Defence.

Friends believe that the stress stemming from the accusations may have led to his death. Foul play has been ruled out.

From Tokyo Saturday, Prime Minister Tony Blair, called Kelly's apparent death an "absolutely terrible tragedy" and said he will welcome an independent inquiry if the dead man is positively identified as Kelly.

Meh, I thought it was a bit strange.

Also, they didn't list a cause of death.
 
Strange things happen all the time but you are jumping the gun . . . ala Bush/Blair/Cheney/Rice/Wolfowitz/Perle WMD are going to be reigning down from Iraq if we don't invade tomorrow . . .
 
Yeah I saw it on the news, the poor man was taken before the committee and talked to like a piece of sh*t for an hour by some bald overweight sweating northerner, i think its appalling the way they treated him. 🙁
 
strange that. i hope it was suicide (not in a bad way) simply so it was nothing more sinister. i wouldnt like to think anyobdy died for nothing though
 
You know, it's really pretty damn hard to die from slashing wrists, seems like the body has a
defensive technique called clotting that usually prevents bleeding through veins to a degree.
I guess that if he had been on blood thinners, or was taking heart medication that he could
have a clotting inhibitor that could retard clotting action, but if he was a smoker he would also
be more apt to have a tendency to clot much easier.
Maybe if the cuts had been lengthwise to maximize damage and optomize blood flow it could work.

Lots of pain killers ? Sounds like an overdose with an 'apparent' terminal injury.
I doubt that he would have bled to death.
 
Actually it's very easy to die from slit wrists . . . done correctly . . . which I will not reveal on this forum for liability reasons.

Its extremely easy. I didn't think it required much finess.

Was dead scientist the single source of the fateful BBC report? David Kelly went to his death fearing that he might be. Alastair Campbell and others in government are "99 per cent" convinced that he was. Geoff Hoon, the Defence Secretary, named him in a letter to the BBC, and somebody leaked his name to the press.

But no one outside the BBC knows whether the dead man was the elusive "source" at the heart of the bitter dispute between the Government and the corporation that has cost a man his life.

Decently common way to commit suicide.
 
I watched the hearing with Kelly twice.. I didn't think they were hard on him... save the guy who demanded he answer a question.. but even then he was not mean... and the chairman said it was a legitimate query.. Kelly seemed very quiet and not too stressed... under control... to me.. he did not seemed to be covering anything up... just that he did not feel he was the prime resource for the news paper fellow who said he had one primary and three secondary sources... But Kelly like the Guy in Clinton's admin.. who suffered the same fate presumably.... hid their stress well...

Another casualty of this nutty stuff... he was a micro bio scientist and now gone... sad.

It is pretty easy to fvck up killing yourself if you don't know what you are doing. Hence, the reason Bali doesn't want to give full blown details on the most effective way.

I always take a walk before I kill myself. I like to take pain killers in a strange place because I'm looking for the comfort on some strange park bench. Park bench was chose at random so If nobody knows he died there and he did, please don't come looking for me. I chose that at random.

Clinton's law friend died in a walk in the park too...
A brilliant scientist might choose another way to go than a slash to his (L) wrist... was he right handed?
He is either the fellow who told the BBC reporter that the evidence was somewhat bogus or he was not... if he was the deep throat... of "Whitehall gate" he'd not be strong enough to make the assertion public and then become so weak that he had to off himself because the stress was to great.. If he was deep throat he was offed by someone... If he truly was not deep throat and folks thought he was he should be outraged... he was cleared by the committee that had him before them... so he had no issue to be stressed over... or enough to go off the deep end.

So I agree with Moonbeam... this smells of something deeper... but, not being a mind expert I'll, as usual, defer to my betters... most of whom opine from a predetermined plateau because they have an agenda that tries to create the truth rather than letting the truthful pieces fall where they may.
