Some of story:

A senior British military police officer in Iraq involved in the investigation of alleged abuse of Iraqi civilians by soldiers has been found dead at a camp in Basra. Defence sources said the death was "not due to hostile action and also not due to natural causes".


However, it is believed that investigators have not found a suicide note, nor firearms related to the incident. Capt Masters was not receiving any medical or psychological treatment.


Seven members of the Parachute Regiment are on trial for the murder of an Iraqi teenager, Nadhem Abdullah.

Several Fusiliers have been convicted at a court martial in Osnabrück, Germany, of abusing civilians and photographing the acts.

Some soldiers have been charged in relation to the death of a hotel receptionist, Baha Musa.

Sounds like a movie is coming.....
Anyway, it also sounds like there might be a murderer around. Hope they get to the bottom of it.

By reading that article it seems like he wasn't shot, nor did he kill himself, or have a heart attck, stroke, etc...
"not due to hostile action and also not due to natural causes"
The only other cause I can concieve is "accidental" but the man was found in his bed, so it is a bit strange.

A military source said "This has come as shock to us. Ken was not suffering from depression or anything that indicated that he would take his own life."

Now I'm not trying to be funny here but a death that would look like it was "not due to hostile action and also not due to natural causes" but also maybe give the impression of suicide (since the above statement sounds like it, to me at least)...

Auto-erotic asphyxiation?
