Just a fun fact on wiki's featured article, I didn't know about this particular one. Gotta love how it's classed as still definitely 100% no doubt a suicide.

A year after the publication of the 2002 dossier on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction—which stated that some of Iraq's chemical and biological weapons were deployable within 45 minutes. Kelly had an off-the-record conversation with Andrew Gilligan, a BBC journalist, [...], he stated that the "45 minutes" claim was included at the insistence of [...] the Downing Street Director of Communications [...] Two days later Kelly was found dead near his home

He died of wounds to the wrists and drug overdose. All four personnel who found the body each had inconsistent descriptions.

Forensic analysis established that neither the knife nor the blister packs showed Kelly's fingerprints on their surfaces

And just to confirm what we know, it was all total nonsense

Without exception, all of the allegations included within the September Dossier have been since proven to be false.

Honestly, the official explanation that he was so afraid of state retribution about being found out isn't much better than the seemingly more likely case that he was just killed for contradicting the justification in the middle of an invasion.

    It’s weird they bothered. As it was known bullshit and the invaders just ignored protests and facts.

    It was a coalition of the willing to invade.
