Guardian: 'Sean Hoare Postmortem Results Confirm Death Not Suspicious'

[RZM]

'A postmortem into the death of the News of the World whistleblower Sean Hoare found no evidence of third-party involvement and confirmed that his death was non suspicious, the police have said.'

'The examination was a section 20 autopsy, which would ordinarily be used in suspicious death cases. Hertfordshire police said this was just a precaution. "Because of the circumstances surrounding the case and the high-profile nature of the person believed to be involved, a decision was taken for a Home Office postmortem to take place to thoroughly investigate the matter," a spokesman said.'


Apparently they are still awaiting the toxicology report, which could take a while.

1. Reminds me of the scene in "Chinatown."

"We got water out of him, Jake. He drowned."

2. How many writers, sitting on the book deal of the decade, would choose THAT moment to off themselves

?

Now, writers tend to be a melancholic lot, but still - "How I Took Down Rupert Murdoch and Saved Britain From Rule By Ratfuckers" would have bestrid the Bestseller list for months. Everyone would know this guy from interview shows. Ricky Gervais would play him in the movie.

And he just offs himself?

4. From the article:

"There was no suicide note found at the scene," the spokesperson said. "We cannot categorically say one way or another whether this was suicide, as we have not got the toxicology results."

3. Well it could just be a random event

But the timing, is to say the least, suspicious.
