A senior soldier who served in Northern Ireland and gave evidence to the Bloody Sunday inquiry has been found shot dead.

Mike Norman, 62, a former sergeant-major and once the British Army's top sniper in the province, was found dead at the wheel of a hired BMW in Hounslow.

His death - by a shot in the stomach from a 9mm pistol - is being investigated under the direction of a senior Scotland Yard officer because of his former role's "sensitivity".

His body was found in the green BMW last Sunday. Although Mr Norman is thought to have committed suicide, Scotland Yard has now assigned the inquiry to an assistant commissioner.

1. A former sniper commits suicide

by shooting himself in the stomach?

Who the fuck would believe that? That's just fucking stupid.

2. Smells of the JonBennett murder investigation where the prime

suspect was also found "suicided" after shooting himself in the stomach....

3. Is a stomach wound one of the most painful and slow ways to go?

At least Bush's NSA assassins shot Baxter in the brain.

5. Do we know what his evidence to the inquiry was?

And is this incident connected to it?

6. It was specifics about collusion between UK army and mercenaries

in Northern Ireland acting as grasses.

7. Suicide by shooting himself in the stomach?

Get real!

A friend's son was stabbed to death with a knife, and the police ruled it a suicide! WTF?

8. It sounds pretty suspicious to me

Who on earth would commit suicide by one of the most painful methods imagineable?

I wonder if he knew something that was deemed to be 'too inconvenient' by the powers-that-be? Or that he gave evidence that pissed somebody off?
