Lost his seat & became handcuffed to the shant ?
Was a propper geezer RIP |

Awful news. I felt he was treated shabbily by the Lib Dems when at his most vulnerable. He would have been a great force in helping to put the Lib Dems as a major force in politics.

MP for my seat, met him a few times, very likable and talented guy who was immensely popular across Scotland.
The saddest thing, however, is that this isn't unexpected  |

By:
Very sad news. He always came across as a decent guy in his television interviews.
RIP |
|
By:
a real shame, he'd just lost his seat and he could have been spending more time with his family now. Wonder if it was his heart as he always seemed to be sweating a bit.

Looks like suicide. What makes you say that? |
|
By:
Lembit Opik was alluding to it on the BBC earlier on.
The police were called to the scene at the family home. Perhaps we shouldn`t speculate, but it`s only observation. |
|
By:
I just wondered how you thought that.
I didn't know anything other than he'd died suddenly. What you say certainly would make you think that. Really sad if true. |

r.i.p we lost a very good man today
|
|
By:
how much do you have to drink to get to the it will kill you stage? bottle of whiskey each night?
|
|
By:
bottle of whiskey a night won't kill you instantly though. Not healthy obviously.
|
|
By:
after a while though...
|
|
By:
does suicide come under the tag of no suspicious circumstances?
|
|
By:
'police said there were no suspicious circumstances'' is often said to be journalistic euphemism for suicide. who knows in this case
|

B-B obvious suicide is not suspicious.
Suspicion = possibility of foul play. |
|
By:
gary speed etc non suspicious just dont know what was going on in his head
from tw@tter So Charlie Kennedy committed suicide - why is no one talking about that? (you think I'm wrong?) #CharlesKennedy |
|
By:
could have been a bottle and plemty pills
but could be a heart attack , but im sure would say heart attack by now |
|
By:
This is a political figure. They will exhaust all other avenues before there is clarity.
|
|
By:
seems more common now that the media don't speculate as to the cause of death until after the post mortem.
particularly as there was potentially no one present during the event, and he wasn't admitted to hospital. so "no suspicious circumstances" is still entirely in line with a "natural" death. |
|
By:
Yet the police being present at the scene is in line with "unnatural" death.
|
|
By:
died suddenly it says on news
|
|
By:
Suddenly is often used for suicide as well.
|
|
By:
very sad
RIP |

By:
he had a drink problem. this is well documented - see his recent question time appearance. Perhaps the body just couldn't cope with the stress he was putting it under ?
