    Drove past there a couple of hours ago. White Ford station wagon at the northern end covered in fingerprint dust – appeared to have been a taxi.

    106.3 news said that police don’t believe its suspicious.

    Maybe the taxi driver just couldn’t hold it and got out to do a leak and fell down the hill into the water? Poor bloke.

    Maybe, just maybe, he had enough of living and working in Queanbehole! *runs*

    Not suspicious = police code for suicide

    I think you’ll find that “Found dead in the shower” is the pilice code for suicide. “Not Suspicious” is the civilian one …

    People can make fun of me when I’m dead too, no problem – it’s a well sign posted two way street … and before anyoe says “yeah, but what about the family?”, I’ll say – thought of that to.

    Plenty of scuttlebutt and rumour doing the rounds in taxi circles. I have not heard any differing opinion other than what I’m about to write:

    Taxi driver was recently married and wife pregnant. According to other taxi drivers he was extremely happy about it too.

    Drivers last (uncompleted) job (before death) was a pick up off Kingston rank with Navy personal onboard. Taxi found unlocked and meter still running.

    With the recent news surrounding racism against Indians, further rumour suggest that the reason the police are calling it a suicide is to prevent any further political fallout.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    Don’t put too much faith in these rumours. This man had other major issues (one in particular) in his life, which I won’t comment on further.

    Poor man. I hope somebody is around to watch out for his wife and new little child. So terribly sad.

    DND, and that’s why you never pay attention to the grapevine.

    Sometimes things are exactly how they appear.
