Army veteran claims spy-in-bag could easily have locked himself in holdall... and we can prove it in video | Mail Online

I don't know enough to speculate. Was the key in the bag with him?

Perhaps he used a key made of ice.

Thank you Mr Creek. Now back to your windmill please.

If it wasn't foul play, perhaps he had a nervous breakdown. It's odd how the circumstances of his death, within a locked bag within a locked flat, an enigma within an enigma so to speak, are vaguely analogous to the kind of decryption work he was doing. So if it was suicide then maybe he intended the circumstances to be symbolic.

I thought the very same thing. Genuinely thought maybe he wanted to leave a riddle. But then you see all of the procedures not being adhered to by MI6 staff and it makes you question yourself...

Nobody was saying it was impossible for a contortionist or very flexible person to do that as a trick. That wasn't the debate which they are glossing over (no surprise there), the debate was:
- The individual in question wouldn't be able to climb in to a holdall, in a bathtub. Hurrah if some young flexible blonde can, nearly all people the subjects age, gender and size cannot.
- Even if one could, no one would off themselves in such a way. You would panic and leave signs of clawing away on the inside of the bag, but a suicidal person wouldn't even contemplate that.
- If one is truly suicidal, leaving a mystery behind or clear forethought and concious behaviour to execute such a plan, isn't what goes through the mind of one overridden with such powerful emotions. Expecting anyone to believe otherwise is foolhardy.
