Al Jazeera is reporting he died of smoke inhalation at the consulate.. This makes sense if he suffocated. But, the US is saying he died in his car...unless I'm reading something wrong. But, there seems to be a conflict in reporting.

It seems that he, along with three other security officials (his bodyguards, I would assume) were trying to evacuate the staff and had a car or cars pulled up outside ready to go. I saw one photo in a foreign website and you could see a destroyed car outside a flaming building - and what appeared to be a body lying at the door of the building.

I guess we’ll find out more later (unles Obama makes this all disappear from the news). I bet we’ll find out more from the non-US press than our own.
