Doctors take legal action to demand Kelly inquest reopened
Source: Independent

Six doctors are taking legal action to demand that the inquest into the death of weapons expert David Kelly is reopened because there is not enough evidence to prove he committed suicide, it was disclosed today.

The Government scientist's death was investigated by Lord Hutton, who concluded that he bled to death as a result of a cut to his wrist and an overdose of painkillers.

But Michael Powers QC, a former assistant coroner, said the cuts would not have caused him to bleed to death and that there was only a normal dose of co-proxamol present in Dr Kelly's body.

>

Dr Powers, an expert in coroners' law, said: "Suicide cannot be presumed it has to be proven. From the evidence that we have as to the circumstances of his death, in particular the aspect of haemorrhage, we do not believe that there was sufficient evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he killed himself."

1. Especially now with the new evidence coming out that the data had indeed been "sexed up"
Which the whitewash, I mean Hutton, committee said that had not happened.

K&R.

3. Of course many of thought the official "suicide" explanation
was something of a stretch from day one.

4. David Kelly's death is but one of more than a few that were very ....
.... convenient for bush/Blair/Cheney and so on.

Pat Tillman 3 shots to the forehead @ 10 meters.

Ray Lemme who was looking into voter fraud in Florida as well as money laundering got up one morning,
kissed his wife good bye, drove to a motel in Georgia, and slit his wrists.

GOP I.T. worker who helped in Ohio 2004 and the secret e-mail accounts of Rove & Gonzales had his
plane fall out from under him just about 1 year ago after he had been warned not to fly.

and many more cases ...... BTW didn't Kelly "kill himself" with a little pocket knife?
