| Dr. David C. Kelly CMG – |
Senior United Nations Weapons Inspector, Iraq
World’s Premier Biological Weapons Expert
VICTIM:
DAVID KELLY
Cause of Death:
BLOOD LOSS (cause of death is contested)
Official Verdict:
SUICIDE; “self-inflicted wound to left wrist” Also “may have” ingested “up to twenty-nine” tablets of coproxamol (an analgesic for mild to moderate pain relief, it is a mixture of paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene and is commonly prescribed for arthritis pain, mild backache, or cramps).
Actual Circumstances:
Dr. Kelly was named as the source of a media leak that accused Prime Minister Tony Blair of lying to justify war with Iraq. When asked what would happen if Iraq was to be invaded, Dr. Kelly responded (on more than one occasion): “I will probably be found dead in the woods.”
500
Iraq was invaded and Dr. Kelly was found dead in the woods. A “public inquiry” was immediately appointed by Prime Minister Blair (before his airplane had even landed), thus precluding an official inquest. No inquest into the death has ever been held.
501
Inconsistencies:
A special Independent Forensic Panel consisting of three doctors who were specialists in their respected fields examined the crime scene and forensic details and determined that:
1. “As specialist medical professionals, we do not consider the evidence given at the Hutton inquiry has demonstrated that Dr. David Kelly committed suicide.”
502
2. Regarding the finding that Dr. Kelly bled to death from a slashed wrist, the Independent Forensic Panel concluded, “We view this as highly improbable. Arteries in the wrist are of matchstick thickness and severing them does not lead to life-threatening blood loss.”
503
The ulnar artery is also an extremely unnatural place to slash one’s wrist. It is located at the far inner portion of the wrist, in line with the little finger. If, however, someone else had been facing the victim and slashing their wrist, it then would be the logical place to expect a cut.
3.The only artery that was cut, the ulnar artery, had been completely transected. As the Independent Forensic Team Panel stated: “Complete transection causes the artery to quickly retract and close down, and this promotes clotting of the blood.”
504
4. Blood loss would have been insufficient to cause death. The conclusion of the Independent Forensic Panel was that “The ambulance team reported that the quantity of blood at the scene was minimal and surprisingly small. It is extremely difficult to lose significant amounts of blood at a pressure below 50-60 systolic in a subject who is compensating by vasoconstriction. To have died from hemorrhage, Dr. Kelly would have had to lose about five pints of blood. It is unlikely that he lost more than a pint.”
