Moscow (CNN) -- Former Soviet spy Leonid Shebarshin, who was very briefly head of the KGB, was found dead Friday in his apartment in Moscow, an apparent suicide, officials said.

The 76-year-old left a suicide note, the state-run news agency Itar-Tass reported Friday, citing city police. A weapon was found near the body, Investigation Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said.

The contents of the note were not disclosed "in the interest of the investigation," according to police, the news agency said. Shebarshin was alone in the apartment, it added.

He wanted to give Obama a little space before the election. Oh wait...nevermind.

[240B]

He was going to ‘out’ Obama’s KGB connection.
He committed suicide instead. Ok, whatever you say.

“Committed suicide by shooting himself 3 times in the back of the head.”

Lol. Henry Marshall, who was investigating Lyndon Johnson’s good fried Bill Sol Estes, committed suicide by shooting himself 5 times with a bolt action .22 rifle, while seated in the front seat of his pickup truck.

What is the Russian equivalent of "Arkancide"?

Arkanubitstvo?

Of course he did.

He used the Vince Foster method.

Right. And William Colby died when he fell overboard on Chesapeake Bay.

[paltz]

That’s like saying somebody “resigned” from the company, when everyone knows he was fired.

[diogenes ghost]

Comrade Shebarshin insured the note would be found by pinning it to the back of his head with an icepick.

[GOPJ]

One bullet to the back of his head?
