It's near impossible to make suicide by slit wrists look like murder, isn't it? Here's a thought .. why take pain killers and then slit your wrists?
Why not just OD on the pain killers?
Sorry, I am not ready to buy the suicide story yet

Blair himself stayed silent when a reporter in Japan asked: "Have you got blood on your hands Mr. Prime Minister? Are you going to resign over this?" What has Blair got to do with it? The guy freaked out, and cut his wrist. If he was weak, that's the way it was. Blair isn't his daddy, nor is he responsible for this mans choices.
This world is always blaming someone else for their own misfortunes.
The guy killed himself. End of story.

I would agree this is suspicious. Men either blow their brains out or hang themselves. If men slit anything they are most likely to take a large knife and slice their throats from ear to ear. The wrist thing is a little bit odd for a manThe guy was British. They still use napkins on their laps over there!

There would have to be some very Deep slits/cuts to sever the radial artery.
I suspect that the Victim [Merriam Webster's Dictionary Definition states that a Victim is: "a living being offered as a sacrifice, an individual injured, or killed, a person cheated, fooled or injured of circumstances"] must have had very potent "Pain Killers" in that bottle.

...and weapons inspectors. I'm not an expert in everything you know. Never really wanted to know a great deal about the death industry anyway.

But who held his hands & slit the wrist, whilst his blood drained???
Do men, even in feminized UK slit their own wrists?
"Dead British Arms Adviser Was BBC Source"
I think not, but then guns are harder to get there...still, count me a doubter. Men ( hetrerosexual ) ACT decisively, with finality; only women generally employ such tactics.
To: GatekeeperBookman
Well, even I as a woman would not slit my wrists. That tends to be a very hysterical, acting out type of behavior. If I seriously wanted to commit suicide I'd use a gun or do the carbon monoxide thing in the garage. I've seen people who survived hanging attempts and drug overdoses. It ain't pretty.
To: concerned about politics
"Blair isn't his daddy, nor is he responsible for this mans choices."Haven't you been paying attention to the left-wing conspiracy theories on this? Blair had MI-5 slice Kelly's wrists because Kelly was in the process of blowing the whistle on how Blair's administration (at Bush's behest) overblew their WMD evidence in order to justify war in Iraq. But if you're not familiar with this theory, don't worry. You're going to hear it again and again and again for the next twenty years, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to become an expert on it. "David Kelly's martyrdom" is going to be part of the leftists' catechism when my children are FReeping.

Yes, he e-mailed Judith Miller.
Wasn't The Great Satan, now apparently banned, infatuated with Judith Miller?

Or.............he was being paid as an agent for Iraq or France or Germany, or N.Korea, or China, or Russia to lie. Then it was discovered that he was going to reveal his knowledge of WMDs, he raised the stakes and he was silenced.

The painkillers are very significant. When did he get them and how? Who prescribed them and for what reason? How many had he taken and what was the likely effect?
Like you, I cannot imagine why someone would take painkillerts then slit their wrist. Why not just take enough painkillers to do you in? And who suicides by painkiller out of doors?
On the other hand, the use of painkillers would have subdued him long enough to slit his wrist without a struggle. And once the painkillers were used, the bottle had to be left at the scene.
Was there a suicide note? It seems that someone who is e-mailing friends, reporters, etc. about his feelings would have left his wife and grown children a note.

I'm not sure if he left a not to his wife but it's reported that he did send an email to the NYT's
