ISLAMABAD: A diplomat of the American Embassy was found dead in his house on Monday, police said.
Keith Ryan, 36 belonged to Homeland Security of the US Embassy and was to return home on Monday morning.
The victim had bullet wound in the upper back portion of his neck, his death was caused by excessive bleeding. The police, recovered the body of the diplomat and a 9 mm gun from the bathroom.
The police had earlier declared it suicide. The pathologists at the PIMS hospital confirmed that Ryan sustained bullet injury on the rear upper neck. The medico-legal experts, however, said he was murdered.
“There is only an entry wound on the rear upper portion of his neck but no exit wound, “ the sources revealed, adding that the bullet could not be found even in X-Ray report. “There is no visible blackening of the entry wound, indicating that the shot was fired from the distance of more than four feet”, the sources claimed.
Keith was scheduled to leave for the USA by Qatar Airways flight QA-398 at 8.45 AM on Monday after completion of his tenure and his colleague, Mr. David Dean, an employee of the USA Embassy, came to his house at about 6.00am to give him a ride to Islamabad Airport but he found no body at his house. As he opened the door of the bathroom, Keith was lying dead in the bathtub while a gun was lying three feet away from the tub. He was wearing knickers.
Keith’s wife and three children are on a pleasure trip to England these days.
Spokesman Sean McCormack identified the diplomat as Keith Ryan, an attache from the Department of Homeland Security. Investigations were continuing, he said, “but we have no indication at this point that it involves foul play.”

The US embassy’s defence attache in Cyprus was found dead on Monday on a hilltop in a remote part of the Mediterranean island after apparently stabbing himself in the neck, officials said. Thomas Mooney “died as a result of haemorrhaging after the infliction of an injury to the neck,” an official involved in the post-mortem told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“The injury was compatible with self-infliction. There was no evidence of foul play whatsover,” the official said, adding that the wound was caused by a sharp instrument and that the body was in a state of decomposition.
