The Context of Dr. David Kelly's Death
- The Background: In 2003, Dr. David Kelly was unmasked as the source behind a BBC report accusing Prime Minister Tony Blair’s government of "sexing up" a dossier regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). [1, 2]
- The Incident: Shortly after being grilled by a parliamentary committee, Dr. Kelly was found dead on July 17, 2003, in Harrowdown Hill, Oxfordshire. [1, 2]
- The Official Verdict: The government-appointed Hutton Inquiry bypassed a traditional coroner’s inquest and ruled the death a suicide caused by a slashed wrist and a Coproximal overdose. [1, 2, 3]
