One in four doubt David Kelly killed himself[23% 'believe he didn't' and 39% 'don't know' - so actually, fewer than 40% think he committed suicide]
NEARLY a quarter of all people questioned in a BBC poll do not believe former Government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly killed himself.
The poll for the corporation found that 23% of people believed Dr Kelly didn't commit suicide, while 39% believed he did and 39% said they did not know.
Dr Kelly was found dead on July 18, 2003 after being named as the possible source of a BBC story on the Government's Iraq weapons dossier.
An inquest was adjourned indefinitely while Lord Hutton held an inquiry. Oxfordshire coroner Nicholas Gardiner concluded in March 2004 that there were "no exceptional reasons" to justify reopening it.
The official account given by the Hutton Inquiry said that Dr Kelly committed suicide by cutting his left wrist. He had also taken an overdose of the painkiller Co-Proxamol.
The poll comes ahead of a three-part BBC Two series, The Conspiracy Files, starting on Sunday, investigating conspiracies into Dr Kelly's death, the World Trade Centre attacks and the Oklahoma City bombing.
The programme on Dr Kelly, to be broadcast on Sunday, February 25, will examine in detail the hours leading up to and immediately after his death.
The Gfk NOP poll surveyed 1,000 adults in the UK by telephone between 27-29 October last year.

I've always said it was a criminal whitewash - let's hope this programme, although on BBC2, will make people sit-up and take notice.
Why on earth wasn't there an Inquest? A new Enquiry and an Inquest should be set up to find the truth. The two (or was it three?)Det.Constables who supposedly stood guard over the body should be cross-examined under Oath ~ I'm quite sure they hold the key to what really happened.
Please check-out my petition to No10. Search 'Dr. David Kelly' and sign it, please.
Many thanks,Sylvia.
If tonight's Conspiracy program is anything like the fudge on 9/11 last week, and Dianna a few months ago, it won't be worth watching.

ACC Page said in his testimony to the Hutton Inquiry that "all missing persons are subject to an assessment". Initially Kelly was classified as a medium risk missing person, but when the Chief Superintendent was informed, being more aware of Dr Kelly's political importance at the time, she raised the risk "somewhat higher".
So as Dr Kelly was deemed high risk, it would have been appropriate to have searched straightaway. My guess is that in this case "high risk" applied not so much to risk per se, as to Kelly's pivotal importance politically at the time.
The French Secret service carried out this ... from a flight that orginated in Corisca....
