psychiatrist declares Kelly a suicide, right-o

word from the sponsor | 02.09.2003 20:31

a leading psychiatrist is [ well-nigh certain ] Kelly was a suicide...

according to Keith Hawton, Kelly almost "certainly" committed suicide.

here is an interesting bit of analysis from the professor:

>>>>>>>>>>

"Prof Hawton said the suicide was also consistent with the fact his elderly neighbour, Ruth Absalom, had said he seemed "perfectly normal" when she met him about a mile away from his house on the day he went for his fateful walk.

"It is consistent with the notion he had made his decision before that to end his life, or try to end his life."


>>>>>>>>>>>>

far be it for me to second guess a psychiatrist (heaven forbid), but might not the fact that Kelly seemed perfectly normal be a sign that he was acting normally??

now now of course it's an UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS LEAP OF IMAGINATION for me to interpret the testimony this way...

isn't anyone smelling some kind of god-awful stench today?
