The Strange Death of David Kelly

“Anyone can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide.” – Old KGB saying

The high-profile death of government weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly, twenty-one years ago, sent shockwaves through Britain. Occurring during the tumultuous period of Britain’s controversial invasion of Iraq, this event plunged the New Labour government into crisis and ultimately led to the resignation of the BBC’s director general.

An informal inquiry, chaired by Lord Hutton, was conducted to investigate the circumstances surrounding Dr. Kelly’s death. While the inquiry cleared the government of wrongdoing, it was widely dismissed as a whitewash.

Key Argument of the Book:

• The Strange Death of David Kelly challenges the official narrative.
• It argues that:
  • Neither the medical evidence nor
  • Dr. Kelly’s state of mind and personality supported the verdict of suicide.
