Dead Men Tell no Tales - David Kelly

David Kelly's supposed suicide was questioned by three surgeons. The UK government refused out of hand to reopen any investigation into the matter claiming that it's possible, at least, that he could have killed himself. Sure, and there were WMD's in Iraq too.

Leading forensic pathologists yesterday cast doubts on claims that it was "highly improbable" David Kelly had committed suicide by cutting his left wrist.

The controversy broke out after three medics wrote a letter to the Guardian claiming Lord Hutton's expected conclusion that the weapons expert bled to death after cutting his wrist was incorrect.

The pathologist Nicholas Hunt told the Hutton inquiry Dr Kelly had died from blood loss after severing his ulnar artery. The three medics questioned this, saying the artery would have retracted when severed, and the blood clotted.

But three of the six professors of forensic pathology in Britain yesterday said it was possible Dr Kelly had died after cutting his own wrists.

Professor Chris Milroy of Sheffield University said he had seen similar cases.

"It does not surprise me that he could have died from severing the ulnar artery," he said.

"I have seen people who have died from cutting one artery in the wrist. It will contract but there is no guarantee it will stop the flow of blood."

Professor Guy Rutty of the University of Leicester said: "You can die from severing the ulnar artery. I agree he would not die instantaneously but would suffer blood loss, become unconscious and die."

Nicholas Gardiner, the Oxfordshire coroner, is considering a report he has received from the three medics and will decide whether to reopen his inquest after the publication of the Hutton report today.

It was adjourned under the 1988 Coroners Act, which allows a public inquiry conducted by a judge to fulfil the function of an inquest.

One of the three medics, David Halpin, a retired consultant surgeon, said he and his colleagues were not accusing anyone of murder, but wanted the inquest reopened.

"I was reading the newspapers and the word 'suicide' was used in relation to Dr Kelly without any qualification," he said. "I am certainly not a conspiracy theorist and all I am doing, as a surgeon, is saying it is a bit odd."
