British medics question suicide verdict over Kelly's death
Two paramedics called to the apparent suicide of British weapons scientist David Kelly last year have severe doubts about the official verdict that he killed himself, they said in an interview yesterday.
The body of Kelly, a leading expert on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, whose death sparked a major political crisis for Prime Minister Tony Blair was found in woodland near his home in July last year.
An official inquiry into his death, led by judge Lord Brian Hutton, which also functioned as an inquest, said Kelly had killed himself by cutting his left wrist, having also taken a non-fatal overdose of painkillers.
