London – One of the first voices to blow the whistle on the phone hacking — former News of the World journalist Sean Hoare — was found dead Monday in Watford, about 40 kilometres northwest of London. Police said the death was being treated as unexplained but was not considered suspicious, according to Britain’s Press Association.

Mr. Hoare was quoted by The New York Times saying that phone hacking — listening to the voice mail of celebrities, politicians, other journalists or even murder victims — was widely used and even encouraged at the News of the World under then-editor Andy Coulson.
Mr. Coulson — who most recently served as Prime Minister David Cameron’s communications chief — was arrested as part of the widening investigation into phone hacking and police corruption.
LOL! The fact that the police said it’s not suspicious is even more suspicious than the death, which is entirely suspicious!!
So they got rid of the witness and its not suspicious?
So say the same police who took millions in bribes from Newscorp and who assured Parliament there was no phone hacking.

Lol, not suspicious. Um, how old are we? If they’re the police and aren’t suspicious and I’m no detective, they’ve got a problem. Welcome to the mommy state
