On 11 March 2006, B-92, a Belgrade radio station, reported Milošević having been found dead in his cell in The Hague. This report has been confirmed by his lawyer.

Just heard on CNN that his former defense team want an independant study done on the cause of his death.
No link available yet.

Now he will be held accountable in the only real trial that counts.

Awesome, this saves a lot of money, he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life in prison anymore.

He really should've had to go through the trial though, been found guilty and sentanced. He's taken the easy way out.

Well...

The man is dead

and I must remind you all: He has not been found guilty yet

And donkey's don't like strawberries. The man was obviously guilty of the charges brought against him, but process is process and every man and woman should get a fair trial.

I remember when he was taken to Hague for his Trials, that I thought, how this man is going to Die in his Prison Cell.

I guess I was Right.

But there are some Weird Events these days in Hague.

Associated Press

Steven Kay, a British attorney assigned to represent Milosevic, said Saturday that the former Serb leader would not have fled, and was not suicidal.

"He said to me: 'I haven't taken on all this work just to walk away from it and not come back. I want to see this case through,'" Kay told the British Broadcasting Corp.

Milosevic's death comes less than a week after the star witness in his trial, former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic, was found dead in the same prison. Babic, who was serving a 13-year prison sentence, committed suicide.

Two Deaths in the same Prison in Less then a Week?

Why? What would be the motive behind someone (or some group) killing him?

The man did bad things, but he was trying to do the best for his people. Which nowdays is very rare.

The left wing media has just set out to make him look like a monster; and they have certainly done a great job at it. But they never show the other side of the story.

Just look at what Bush has done to the US and tell me if his policies are in the best interests of the American people.

Milosevic certainly was guilty on varioius counts for the killing of innocent civilians. But what people failed to understand is he was president during very tough times. His country was splitting apart, and islamic extremism was right around the corner.

Let me remind you of Abraham Lincoln. He pushed his authority to the limit, violated people's civil rights, restricted constitutional rights, put people in prision for expressing their views, etc. All to keep the union together and for the best of his country. Do we whine and blame him for that? Did we put him on trial for that? No. As a matter of fact many of us think he was a great leader.

Fortunately, it now appears most US citizens recognize they are not.

Those are not quite the facts of his butchery, now, are they?

Not even comparable! Nor accurate.

To equate Lincoln with Milosevic is absurd.

One scumbag less on Earth, what a great day
the REAL prison awaits him now in hell where he belongs

NuclearHead, what Milosevic did for Serbia is catapult them back to dark ages. Economy went to hell, human rights too, he stamped them all with "oh, serbs? you mean those guys who commited genocide" tag, instead of investing money in economy, education, fighting poverty and such he wasted everything on military, wars, ethnic cleansing and a failed attempt of conquering the neighbouring countries... yeah right, he was really great for his people

This is what I find interesting

The trial was recessed last week to await his next defense witness. Milosevic also was waiting for a court decision on his request to subpoena former President Clinton as a witness. He was due to complete his defense this summer.

The hundreds of witnesses included former U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark, the NATO commander during the Balkan wars. Milosevic also tried to subpoena former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former German Chancellor Gerhard Shroeder and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Did he knew sometnig what we do not? Or did he have some dirt on them?

Maybe we'll find some hidden truth about this Balkan mess now when Milosevic is gone

I agree that his death could have been timely, for some reason, like everything when it comes to this type of trials sometimes the accuse knows information that can hurt lots of people in high places they become a liability.

Perhaps is something more to his death than meet the eyes.

I am waiting when Saddam is found death also form Natural causes one of this days too.
