This newspaper article, from the family, gives the cause as not being suicide:

Accusations of the SNP treatment can be read in this article:

Politics is a dirty business. Charlie Kennedy with his problems should have been advised not to seek re-election. His opponents were bound to make use of it. He was a well liked and respected politician.

Re: Devolved English Parliament

It would be interesting to have a televised debate between Ian Blackford and George Galloway.

Re: Devolved English Parliament

I did feel sorry for Charles Kennedy at that time. He seemed such a sad, confused and very ill and vulnerable man.

Different to think of different cloth tbh. Ian Blackford would wipe the floor with that imposter.
