"The post-mortem has revealed that the cause of death was haemorrhaging from a wound to his left wrist. The injury is consistent with having been caused by a bladed object. We've recovered a knife and an open packet of Coproxamol tablets at the scene," police said.
Coproxamol is a painkiller.
Co-proxamol alone accounted for 5% of all suicides. Of 4162 drug related suicides, 18% (766) involved co-proxamol alone, 22% (927) tricyclic antidepressants alone, and 9% (368) paracetamol alone. A higher proportion of suicides in the 10-24 year age group were due to co-proxamol than in the other age groups. The odds of dying after overdose with co-proxamol was 2.3 times (95% confidence interval 2.1 to 2.5) that for tricyclic antidepressants and 28.1 times (24.9 to 32.9) that for paracetamol. CONCLUSIONS: Self poisoning with co-proxamol is particularly dangerous and contributes substantially to drug related suicides. Restricting availability of co-proxamol could have an important role in suicide prevention.
The police would not discuss whether there was any note or other explanation, but his wife said Friday that she had had no indication he was contemplating suicide when he left his home in the village of Southmoor Thursday afternoon, saying he was going for a walk.
In an e-mail message to a reporter for The New York Times shortly before he left on his walk Thursday, Dr. Kelly discussed his appearance before the committee and referred to "many dark actors playing games."

The death of this WMD inspector is against BUSH!
It doesn't help him.
It's obviously (if not an actual suicide) a set-up by anti-bush peoples.

Question:
So you decide that you want to whack yourself. And your going to cut your wrist. So you take off walking in what has been reported to be pretty crappy weather and you take with you
a knife
and a package of pain killers...
right. Does anyone else here typically head to the park with a package of painkillers in their pocket??? I mean, if he took the pain killers in order to ease cutting his wrist, he could have just as easily taken them at home, walked out the door, went to the park and done the dirty deed. Why would he have a package of pain killers in his pocket? That doesn't sound right. That sounds planted.
