The US embassy's defence attache in Cyprus was found dead on Monday on a hilltop in a remote part of the Mediterranean island after apparently stabbing himself in the neck, officials said. Thomas Mooney "died as a result of haemorrhaging after the infliction of an injury to the neck," an official involved in the post-mortem told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"The injury was compatible with self-infliction. There was no evidence of foul play whatsover," the official said, adding that the wound was caused by a sharp instrument and that the body was in a state of decomposition.

Police confirmed he had died as a result of a large wound to the neck, but declined to describe it as suicide, which is illegal in Cyprus.

So not only did the poor guy off himself, he broke the law to it? Wonder what his jail sentence will be?

[conservativehusker]

I wonder what he knew about Hillary????

[nyconse]

Yeah right...I believe these people.

Is this like the Chinese dissident that shot himself in the head....3 times?

Wonder what his jail sentence will be?

Not life, that's for sure.

Death penalty with credit for time served... uh... dead.

Why, certainly. Stabbing yourself in the neck is the superior method of doing yourself in.

Sura 4:47 “So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them...”

LMAO!

A friend of mine was found dead(this was years and years ago)in Washington state, he was on a business trip, with two gunshot wounds to the head, no firearm in the immediate vicinity(actually they never found one), and they ruled it suicide. You have to wonder sometimes don't you?

Suddenly this guy will become more important in death than he ever was in life, thanks to the conspiracy theorists. My guess is that he “had the goods on BushCo”.

WHat do you want to bet when they mean the neck they mean the back of the neck straight into the brain stem.

[Law is not justice but process]

Or like that terrorist in Saddam’s Iraq who committed suicide by shooting himself 14 times in the back with a Kalashnikov?

[dead]

Actually, I don't think stabbing yourself is all that rare as a way of committing suicide. I remember Brooklyn Democratic Party leader Donald Manes doing it to himself after he was convicted of corruption.

Some entertainment sorta celebrity did it to himself in a field a couple years ago, but I'm drawing a blank on who he was.

[BenLurkin]

Arkancide?

[LilAngel]

This isn’t the last word. When is his family giving a press conference? Who are the US officials in charge of investigating? When is their press conference?

[HereInTheHeartland]

“stabbing himself in the neck,”

Fosteritis won’t work as an explanation here. They need to do better.

[stuartcr]

Maybe he tied the pistol to a bunch of helium baloons...

"Suddenly this guy will become more important in death than he ever was in life, thanks to the conspiracy theorists."

Then there are those who conspire to debunk conspiracies.
