Death of Dr David Kelly

[No Limit]

I'm not sure if I should be wearing a tin foil hat while posting this but this story really is interesting. They originally said his death was the result of self inflicted wounds from a knife and an overdose on pills. Yet they refused to let a coroner investigate and the knife as well as the pill bottle did not have Dr. Kelly's finger prints on it.

I haven't been paying much attention to this but I wonder how it will turn out.

Dr Kelly, a world-renowned weapons inspector, is said to have killed himself after being named as the prime source of a BBC report accusing Tony Blair’s government of lying to take Britain into war.

His body was found in woods close to his home in Oxfordshire on July 18 2003. Uniquely, for an unexpected death such as his, no coroner’s inquest has ever been held.

The Hutton inquiry into his death found that he killed himself after slashing his wrist with a blunt knife and overdosing on painkillers.
On Monday the Mail revealed that no fingerprints were found on the blister packs of pills which Dr Kelly supposedly took. No fingerprints were recovered either from the knife or a bottle of water found by his side. He was not wearing gloves when his body was found, nor were there gloves anywhere near the body.
The memorial argues that Dr Kelly’s death was not sufficiently investigated and claims that there are a large number of irregularities surrounding it.

It all sounds suspicious however the BBC are ultimately the ones to blame for leaking his name in the first place. The first rule of journalism must surely be to protect your sources and yet they betrayed him so willingly.

Wait, how the hell can you refuse to let the police do their job?

So I could kill my wife and refuse to let anyone examine the crime scene? I don't understand how anyone can refuse the police investigating a possible homicide.

Not in America. Police can do what they want here.

But yeah, thats weird. Though the wording in the article makes it sound like there was just no inclination to have a autopsy from anybody, so it just wasn't requested, rather than requested and denied. But the police were able to investigate the crime scene, which is how they know there were no prints on anything and no gloves in the area.
