Newforest2 ......." Disturbing speculation".

Suggest before speculating that it's speculation, you do the research....


From the Western Morning News ....

"Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that suicide is one of the lines of inquiry being pursued by detectives, after a note was found at Perranporth Flying Club. Inspector Pete Turner, the force's incident manager, yesterday said: "One of the lines of inquiry the investigation is looking into is the possibility of suicide, based on a letter that was left. There is currently a joint fire and police investigation and we will look at all areas from the police side – an accident is obviously the other possibility."
