        if two curves of non related facts overlap it is usually a sign that the theory that expains it seems likely - Danedukenuuk Jul 18, 10:37

  - Normally I would go to Sky's website for breaking news, but I doubt they're covering this story. -- nm - LMS Jul 18, 10:32 2
    - Why wouldn't they cover a phone-hacking scandal where News Corp is the clear victim? -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 10:34 1
      - Clearly they want to remain impartial. Look it's the pub I took you too in the background. -- (link) - LMS Jul 18, 10:41
- That's either the worst timing in the world, or Murdoch knows really good hitmen. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:21 12

  - ......? yes it does. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 10:20 20
    - they aren't treating it as suspicious...I would think the only thing more suspicious would be if there was a giant blinking light over the body saying - Beaker Jul 18, 10:21
    - it makes sense in terms of the English language, but why wouldn't it be suspicious? -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:20 18
      - There are about a billion reasons it wouldn't be suspicious. - Ender Jul 18, 10:22 1
        
        "found" dead suggests no one saw it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:23
      - depends on how he died. could be natural -- nm - decline Jul 18, 10:21
      - Suggests suicide. -- nm - LMS Jul 18, 10:21 9
        
        maybe I watch too many crime shows (probably) but I would tihnk it has to be thoroughly investigated - loosilu Jul 18, 10:22 8

        till they kill me off! I'll be the Poochie of CSI ST! -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 10:39
        
        ok, that makes sense. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:24
      - it being suspicious and it being treated as suspicious are two different things. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 10:21 3
        
        I always thought police erred on the side of treating it that way. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:22 2
        
        unless they get paid off. - znufrii Jul 18, 10:23 1
