(WASHINGTON) -- Washington, D.C., police are investigating the apparent suicide of a U.S. Secret Service supervisory agent assigned to President Obamas security detail.
Rafael Prieto had a distinguished 20-year career with the Secret Service that was marked by accomplishment, dedication, and friendships, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in a prepared statement. The Secret Service is mourning the loss of a valued colleague.
Prieto was in the midst of an administrative process related to his relationship with a foreign national, officials said.
Sources said there was no criminal investigation into Prieto and stressed that he was not connected in any way to the investigation of misconduct by Secret Service personnel in Cartagena, Columbia.
Prieto was not under investigation for espionage and there is no indication that sensitive documents were passed, according to law enforcement sources.
Prieto was found dead on Saturday. The D.C. Police declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
Does the name Vince Foster ring a bell.
Just another Zerocide. String them together on a straw.
If true as presented, they were pulling his security clearance for ties to a foreign national or failure to report same. I represent a lot of those folks. Never seen one commit suicide.
I agree 100%...;)
If I was Sec Serv and I had to fork over my life to a POS anti-American idiot who reads thru a teleprompter, I would get suicidal thoughts too.
Not reporting how he did the deed, eh? Let me guess - three bullet holes to the back of the head while in handcuffs.
Yep, nothing more to see here folks.
Why does the question Homosexual??? Pop into my head.
Probably two self inflicted 22 cal to the back of the head with an emailed suicide note
(I’m thinking Castle or an NCIS episode to use this theme)

In the upcoming episode Gibbs “Gut” and his Team will figure it out if allowed... if Sec Nav and the Director stay out of his way, Ducky may have problems with the double tap to the back of the head... a super rare slam fire or even more rare auto rotation and fire from a revolver (these things are possible in Hollywierd)
Bump
Ouch. That is almost enough to win yourself a private meeting with your local treasury department representative.

You’ve never seen a married person who has had an affair exposed commit suicide? Huh...
right in the midst of all the Benghazi mess, a secret service agent commits suicide....
What are the secret service to do when they witness traitorous activities of their boss, the prez?
