Or was he silenced? Just like SECNAV/DEF Forrestal?
"Navy Sec. Nominee's Death Ruled Suicide By RICHARD BENKE Associated Press July 25, 2003 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The death of Colin McMillan, an oilman awaiting Senate confirmation as Navy secretary, was ruled a suicide by gunshot Friday. McMillan, 67, was found dead Thursday at his 55,000-acre ranch in southern New Mexico, near the White Sands Missile Range. "The cause is a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The manner is suicide," said Tim Stepetic, spokesman for the state medical investigator. In Alamogordo, District Attorney Scot Key would not say whether McMillan left a suicide note. Key said a handgun was found with the body. McMillan "had a recurrence of cancer," but "everybody thought he was recovered, recuperating quite well," Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., said Friday on the Senate floor. President Bush nominated McMillan in May for the Navy post, which had been vacant since Gordon England left in January to become deputy secretary of the new Homeland Security Department. The president said he and his wife were "saddened by the death of our good friend." "Colin was a public servant and patriot," Bush said. McMillan served in the Marine Corps from 1957 to 1972 and was assistant defense secretary in the early 1990s, during the first Bush administration. McMillan ran Permian Exploration Corp. in Roswell." |

Some newspapers, (I don't remember which), reported that the unfortunate
gentleman recently had a cancer relapse. They did not report which type of cancer he suffered from. "Anonymous Sender" wrote in message acolo.com... Or was he silenced?
