ISLAMABAD: The clinical investigation report of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officer Kamran Faisal’s death stated that he was a victim of depression and committed suicide, Express News reported on Sunday.
The report said that Faisal snapped his neck by hanging himself and his eyes were half-open at the time of his death. There were no torture marks on his body and nothing poisonous was found in his stomach either, the report added.
It further revealed that Faisal’s post mortem took place 16 hours after his death.
Faisal’s father Abdul Hameed rejected the report and said that he will not accept any report which terms his death a suicide. He termed the report “bogus”.
Faisal was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room at a government hostel in Islamabad, three days after the Supreme Court ordered the prime minister’s arrest in the Rental Power Projects (RPPs) case. He was part of the team investigating the case.

his bruised hand picture is all over the new papers and internet when the postmortem indicated his death as suicide. how contradictory
His job required strong will ,great common sense and character. not a weak willed person could have done that.
The PCO CJ is picking on young kids. He should take on people of his own stature like the FC chief and generals who refuse to even attend the hearings. What happened to the culprits of Asghar Khan's case? Those generals are too big to pick on but little boys are not.
Get me the CSI on the phone.
John B is right. Broken neck bone is not a feature of suicide. It is seen in judicial hanging, motor vehicle accidents or if someone else has snapped it.
please see khara sach by Mubashir Lucman for 22 jan make up your mind about what happened.@The Only Normal Person Here.:
WOW, the comments here show how money could work in your favor. Hire people to post comments. The Islamabad police is controlled by those who are controlling these posters. This was a cold blooded murder and the laptop and cellphone of the person killed are missing? How could he disposed his laptop from the inside locked room? Idiots
so took anti-depressants and then hung himself for safe measures? sure, we believe you.
Ok!! As we are so gullible so Rehaman Malik feels we can trust on this PPP govt investigation.
But please listen to the victim s family version that they have seen tortures marks on Kamran body.
Chief justice pushed him@Acorn Guts:
@Azam: Your point is well taken and on the dot. However, your argument depends on people's unabiding faith in the credibility of their institutions which requires a long period of trust in the system and credibility once lost cannot be recovered that easily. The very reason people are jumping to conlusions contrary to the official version is lack of transparency and credibility of their own institutions and that have been the PAK problem on several fronts, domestic or foreign. I have no stake in the system of PAK but I am of the opinion that PAK institutions cannot function and deliver to PAK people, if the people do not have faith in them: political, police, army or judiciary. Thus, as of today in every matters of PAK the burden of credibility is on PAK institutions-very sad indeed.
I believe the police force in PAK are sincere in matters that are under their control and are doing a professional job. But it is not what you and I believe but what the populace believe about them. That is an unfortunate burden on them.
I request all of the above to keep their wishes aside and accept the reality. You want to convict the Prime Minister for a crime you want to believe he committed when there is no evidence to prove it. This is barbarism and for ditto lust of blood we hanged one prime minister 35 years back only to regret it.
I dont accept this at all. Even the circumstantial evidence is not convincing he committed suicide.
@John B: only sane comment otherwise other comments are based on hatred
@John
How did you know all about the 'self-cancellation procedure' dude?
Spot on Azam. How conveniently people are asking here for the reasons of suicide to be disclosed. If it was a suicide, why the heck anyone on this earth would want to know those reasons, which i am sure would be extremely personal. Allah hum sab ko such parakhnay aur doosroan ki zaatiyaat mein na jhaanknay ki tofeeq day. Ameen.
There are four scientific facts which must be considered before jumping to conclusion 1 circumstancial supporting evidence in the room---like evidence of violence or fight, there was no evidence of fight in room 2 Naked eye examination of body- like marks of violence on body and mark of stangulation. There were marks of strangulations only. 3 Microscopic examination to exclude other cause of death. Probably there was hardly need of such an examination because it would had not been helpul to reach final opinion 4 Chemical examination .To exclude poisoning . So findings are supporting stangulation however it further needs to be prooved that is it suicidal or homocidal.

He apparently hanged himself with a kamar band?? How is that possible just by looking at his pictures how can a grown man's neck be snapped just by a kamar band??
We have seen how the PCO SC has dealt with the top govt officials. This low level officer who was on medication and treatment for depression under Dr. Najma in Poly Clinic cracked under pressure. His secured room was locked from inside and there were no sign of break in or forced entry. Coupled with the medical report showing no foul play some still insist that he could not commit suicide. Why are his family members refusing to give their statements to police? They have every right to give their statements whenever they want but the facts should come out from the courts and doctors not common conspiracy mongers.
Do you all realize how pathetic you sound when you term everything that isn't synonymous with your opinion, a lie. Since when did the father and the uncle become the forensic experts? It's their right to have an opinion and a due grief response but labeling their emotions as fact is very unprofessional to say the least. Ruling elite isn't a cuss word and them being rulers or an elite does not, in any way, automatically make them a convict.
For the love of God, either put trust in your state experts or vote in people who you think can take care of that for you.
Its great to see so many forensic experts in general public. Why we are wasting resources on doctors, forensic labs and investigation when process can be done by any individual with little knowledge and a computer at home?
Before jumping into any conclusion, zi would like the readers of these valued columns that they should wait and see how Supreme Court is going to give its finding.
One of the reactions of anti-depressants besides other problems is suicidal tendencies! Google it and you can have it confirmed. Be very careful if you are prescribed anti-depressants!
Death by hanging is not equal to suicide. The medical report simply discounts death by other means and does not necessarily confirms a self motivated suicide. Please let's not jump to conclusions! and just to be clear, I'm not advocating a 'conspiracy' here.
Besides, even if we conclude that it was a suicide then still, we need to find what pushed him so far, what caused him to make such a harsh decision. Hope this case don't get shut just like that.
The markings on his neck were found to be at an angle not consistent with hanging, i.e., when a person hand to commit suicide the marks left behind are at an angle, pointing upwards towards the knot and not parallel to the ground. This poor man's murder will never be proven in Pakistani judicial system.
Tum Logon ko chaye kya bhai? Just bec it doesnt merge with UR OPINIONS doesnt mean its a lie!
Doctor's name should be published so that we can recognize culprits of our society.
Murder most foul
Just Wait few days and look how we burry this case under the maunds of files like everbefore. Here we can't knew Why Benazir murdered, who was behind bhutto game who was behind Quaid's death in Isolation.....As here AWAM is never allowed to have any info rather they are merely treated as Tissue Papers.
Anti depressant + pressure = suicide . Not improbable but it is still an opinion if the conclusion is not backed by strong forensics and supported by statistics of anti-depressant mediated suicide rate in PAK.
Snapping the neck in amateur suicide is a very rare event and for that to happen the drop has to be at least 5 feet as in professional hanging and the knot and the rope has to inelastic.
In a room of maximum 12 feet high ceiling , 1 foot for the fan hanging, 2 feet for the cord, 5 feet for the individual, it barely leaves just about enough distance to the floor for the drop.
What was the force measured with experimental drop using the same rope material and distance and was it adequate to snap the neck.?
In a case of this importance, the forensics should be well presented to the public. ET should write a detailed news report.
They poisoned him with CYANIDE
And they expect us to believe this? The judiciary in Pakistan has become a complete joke. The ruling elite have become the mafia and will stay in power at any cost.
