There are people who disguise a suicide for life insurance purposes etc., but in this case, he made several phone calls (to someone who was not available) leaving frantic messages and also sms messages. In these calls he requested State Dept assistance. This was some hours before he died. If help had arrived - as it should have - it would have stuffed up a suicide plan.

Thanks for the details in that post, most informative.

Most concerning, also. There is such an aura of evil around this story. As with the Benghazi killings, it seems linked to an arms trade ... and unknown players.

My first hunch is that a fall from only a third floor balcony isn’t likely a suicide.

OK, that does paint a different picture. Thanks!

How do you know Salman’s son is in charge? ...and why is he worse than Abdullah?

That photo doesn't exactly make one feel warm and fuzzy. Sorry for his family's loss...for sure. But IMO you deal with any leadership in the ME the risk is there you might nt return home.

What is the touchy-touchy stuff?

Am I missing something or did he pick the wrong boyfriend?

[BlackVeil]

That earlier, joking message is odd. One could do with an explanation. I think he is referring to a pet - a bird, or cat or dog. Something that likes to eat cheese.

It was his uncle.

Apologies - it was his room mate he texted, as well as his uncle. I don't know if had sin in his life or not - but you would agree that we are all sinners, yes? There is no evidence he was homosexual, only your implication based on....? Moreover, even IF he was, you would not condone murder by the Saudis, would you?
