Britain's leading spymaster, who is in a coma after apparently being struck down by a mystery illness, was found covered in blood, according to a tenant.
Alex Allan has been described as "very, very seriously ill" and is under police guard in the intensive care unit of a west London hospital.

He was found by Dominique Salm, a painter who rents an artist's studio in his west London home.

According to neighbours she found him slumped unconscious with "blood everywhere".


Doctors have run a battery of test to try and establish why the 57-year-old Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee collapsed at his home on Monday.

Government sources insist there is no evidence of suspicious circumstances, but Miss Salm's account will add to speculation that Mr Allan may have been targeted by a foreign spy.

The painter's mother Sally Ann Salm told the Mail on Sunday: "Some very serious people have asked Dominique not to comment on any of this until it has been fully investigated and she is doing just that. So am I."

Spy chief planned Perth

July 07, 2008 04:41pm
Britain's seriously ill "spymaster" has a home in Fremantle and had planned to return there to live with his wife, his friends in Perth said today.

Alex Allan, 57, who became chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee last year, is in a coma after apparently being struck down by a mystery illness in London last Monday.

According to Dominique Salm, an artist friend of his late wife, he was found covered in blood at his riverside Hammersmith apartment.

He was described as "very, very seriously ill'' and is under police guard in the intensive care unit of a west London hospital.

London's Daily Telegraph said government sources insisted there was no evidence of suspicious circumstances, but that Miss Salm's account would add to speculation that Mr Allan may have been targeted by a foreign spy.

3. If I was in the spy business, I'd be getting paranoid about now....

(or more paranoid)

BUT, "Government sources insist there is no evidence of suspicious circumstances..."

Nothing suspicious except it's a mystery illness, he was covered in blood, and we have him under police guard. Same as we do with all of our non-suspiciously ill patients.

I know...

It's probably just a really bad flu or attack of colitis.
