A Chilling End in Chongqing

The death of a prominent English business man with possible ties to British intelligence agencies in Chongqing has brought new scrutiny to bear on Bo Xilai, Chongqing's recently deposed Communist Party Secretary. The mysterious circumstances surrounding Mr. Neil Percival Heywood, as well as the lack of an autopsy report, have called in to question whether his death was actually, as reads the official Chinese report, due to alcohol, and not a murder.

Mr. Bo and Mr. Heywood were well acquainted, but Mr. Heywood was, according to some sources, embroiled in a business dispute with Mr. Bo's wife, Gu Kailai.

The scandals just keep piling up for Bo Xilai. I'm almost certain they will ruin his political ambitions, which, until he was wracked by scandals, looked to be bright.
