Might have done it because it was revealed a day or two ago he allegedly was bribed $10 mil. by Hariri when he reigned over Lebanon. And maybe Bashar Assad didn't his cut...
Possible killed himself not because of involvement in Hariri's death, but what the investigation into Hariri's death dug up....Hours before he died, Kanaan contacted the Beirut Voice of Lebanon radio station and dlivered a statement, concluding with the words: "I believe this is the last statement that I could make." He asked seasoned interviewer 'Wardeh' to pass his comments to other broadcast media.
Kanaan said he was making the statement to 'Wardeh' to deny a report by another Beirut TV network, New TV, which argued late Tuesday that Kanaan admitted to U.N. investigators that he was involved in money extortion and corruption during what he called "my reign of Lebanon."
New TV had reported Kanaan told investigators that he brought the 2000 Lebanese election law that "we tailored to the measurements of Lebanese politicians loyal to Syria."
"Premier Hariri had at the time given me a $10 million check and another $ 10million check to General Jamil Sayyed," New TV quoted Kanaan as saying in his testimony. "We were making money from Premier Hariri so how could we possibly kill him and close the flow of his riches." General Sayyed was then the head of Lebanon's General Security Department.
New TV was unmoved by Kanaan's denial, insisting the story was accurate.
