SLAIN BANKING BIG'S 'KINKY' END (Swiss Banker Edouard Stern)
New York Post ^ | March 5, 2005 | BILL SANDERSON

Investment banking mogul Edouard Stern was clad head-to-feet in a latex suit when he was found shot dead this week in his Geneva apartment, Swiss media reported yesterday as the mystery of his murder deepened. Stern, 50, was found dead in the bedroom of his securely locked lodgings Tuesday by the wife of his building's superintendent and three colleagues after he had missed several business meetings.

An investigating judge is releasing few details about the killing, but confirmed Stern was shot three times. Two bullets struck Stern in the head, said the Tribune de Geneve newspaper.

Another Geneva paper, Le Temps, speculated the latex suit indicated Stern's killing may have had something to do with sadomasochistic sex. But the investigating judge said only that police are following a number of leads in the case.

Here is a link that gives a little more background on this guy. It certainly looks as if there are many potential suspects in the case.

This sounds JUST like the old lady and her black paramour in "Rioutous Assembly." Of course, "Porterhouse Blue" is the funniest work of fiction I have ever read.

The most embarassng death of a POLITICIAN I can think of was Salazar in Portugal, who died shortly after his deck chair collapsed, sending him into a coma.

Wasn't Gary Condit reputed to have a latex fetish, and shave from neck-to-ankles?

Yes, and he was rumored to "have fun" with Grey Davis. Where are you John LeBoutillier?

Thanks for the coffee stains on my screen,

I hadn¨t heard about Salazar. Still giggling when I think about it.

PS - It wasn't Profumo - that was a big scandal but he survived it. No, it was a junior Tory MP whose name I've forgotten, but who was found wearing women's underwear and asphyxiated due to a whole orange stuffed into his mouth. What a way to go!
