Default 2 shots to the back of the head - must be suicide

Quote:
A city police chief who led an investigation into charges that Britain cooperated with secret CIA flights to transport terrorism suspects without formal proceedings has been found dead, his deputy said Tuesday.

Manchester Chief Constable Michael Todd, 50, was found dead in Snowdonia, about 240 miles northwest of London, Deputy Chief Constable Dave Whatton said. He had been missing since going out for a walk Monday during his day off.
Whatton said the body, which was found Tuesday afternoon, had not yet been formally identified but he believed it was Todd.
He said a coroner's inquest would investigate the cause of death and did not give any further details.
Todd was elected vice president of the Association of Chief Police Officers of England and Wales in 2006, according to a biography on his Web site.
The association gave him the task of looking into accusations that Britain allowed the CIA to use the country's airports to fly terrorism suspects to other countries without any extradition hearings, a clandestine procedure known as "extraordinary rendition."
Todd's investigation concluded last June that there was no evidence to back the claim. Last month, however, Britain admitted one of its remote outposts in the Indian Ocean had twice been used by the United States as a refueling stop for the secret transfer of two terrorism suspects.
he said the UK was not complicit. he was wrong, but it appears dead guys carry no tales

You forgot your link, bubba.

Depending on where on the head the shots are, it's entirely possible to shoot oneself in the back of the head. Most of the time, people depend on the notion that the arm cannot move into that position. However, turn you head to the side, and you can see that it can be done without contortions. The second shot is a tad bit harder though.

Twice?

Seems unlikely.

Just goes to show you that most people don't read past the first couple of sentences in a post.

Well, at least Ted does.

I read your entire post, if that comment was directed towards me.

My apologies, Herk. Your comment led me to believe you skipped my last sentence.

No apology necessary. I was agreeing that two shots seems improbable.

What reason would this guy have to kill himself? It is more than obvious he knew too much and was taken out. LOOK AT THIS CRITICALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY!!!

Subvert the system that tells lies and kills those that tell the truth.

WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS!!!! WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE GOVERNMENT!!!

THE AUTHORITY IS NOT THE TRUTH

TRUTH IS THE AUTHORITY

There have been many instances where people have been shot in the head and lived. For example.

Most recently.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351472,00.html

"Doctors say it's amazing that a 41-year-old Tampa-area woman survived after someone shot her right between the eyes while she was riding in her boyfriend's pickup truck.

Doctors think she was hit with a .44-caliber bullet that broke in two pieces, each traveling under her skin and exiting behind her ears last weekend. She was released from the hospital hours later with just stitches."

I seem to remember seeing something on the news a few years ago where a kid got shot in the head with a large caliber hand gun and lived as well.

Granted, these are one in a million things, but it does happen.

A head shot does not always mean death.

Additionally. I do not see anything that says how many times or where he was shot in what was posted.
