Britain's military commander in Gibraltar has been found dead in his swimming pool under mysterious circumstances, the Times of London said Monday. Commodore David White, 50, who was single, was found dead dressed in civilian clothes in the pool of his exclusive government mansion Saturday. Friday, Britain's Ministry of Defense asked him to return to England following an investigation related to unspecified personal issues. The ministry declined to give any details of the police investigation into White's death and refused to comment on reports White had been arrested before Christmas over allegations about the possession of child pornography. | Ah, took the easy way out. |
A pathologist from London was to arrive in Gibraltar Monday to examine the body. White commanded all the core functions of the Gibraltar base, which include a nuclear-powered submarine berth, a Royal Air Force airfield, intelligence-gathering assets and a command-and-control communications center in a vaulted complex. | A prime subject for some blackmail? |
