He was found dead in a fetal position, naked and decomposed inside a sports bag in the bathroom of her London home. The bag was closed and locked the keys inside. The house also was closed. There were clear signs that he had been placed there by force, but experts have not agreed on whether it is physically possible to get into a bag so small and close it inside.
Nor have agreed on the causes of his death because the body was decomposed when found. He could have died poisoned or suffocated could, but those are just possibilities, even probabilities and certainties alone. He worked at the intelligence, deciphering codes. Accomplished athlete, rather sober, quiet life in his house had not used women's clothes worth 18,500 euros and had visited a cabaret drag queens, but his friends and family say he was not gay. His name was Gareth Williams was 31 when he died in August 2010, in Pimlico penthouse, owned by MI6.
Now a judge has concluded that forensics can not know with certainty the cause of death. It could have been killed. He could have died in a tragic accident at the Houdini act, perhaps with a sexual sense: his housekeeper found him once in his underwear tied to the bed, unable to break out, in what she thought was a sex game. Or, who knows, maybe it was a way to commit suicide.
What is certain is that Williams had a privileged brain, especially gifted in logic and mathematics, which enabled him to finish high school studies at breakneck speed and graduate in mathematics from the University of Bangor at age 17. To his teachers not been surprised to know that at age 21 working for the intelligence services deciphering codes. First in the headquarters of Cheltenham and listeners in the last two years on secondment to the MI6 in London.
Perhaps your work or perhaps because of his personality, Gareth Williams had a very quiet life. Not even his family knew very well what worked and no one asked. But it was a nice young man and loved by her smile and laugh. Cycling fan, was a member of a club but never went to the pub for beers with the other students after doing a few miles on his bicycle.
In August 2010 had been on holiday in America. Thousands of security cameras that are deployed in London have led to know that since his return, on 11, was shopping several times in the West End and Knightsbridge. On day 14 was seen in the subway station at Holland Park at three in the afternoon. On Sunday, 15 came close to a Dolce & Gabbana store in Sloane Street area. Then, the track is lost.
Police now believe he died on the morning of day 16, although not cast him into MI6 missing until days later and his body was not found until day 23. Was broken. Summer heat and suspect that the heating was sped up decomposition, making it difficult to investigate the causes of death. Three different pathologists have not agreed on the causes of death. They tend to believe that he was alive when entering the bag and no signs of struggle, that someone forced him to mess with.
They also believe that should have died right away: lack of oxygen would have hastened his death or would have been knocked unconscious or disoriented in two or three minutes. Some scratches tried to suggest that perhaps the last minute leaving the sports bag, which was in the empty bathtub.
Can your private life to explain the strange death of Gareth Williams? The police know that from time to time he spent half an hour to one hour sadomasochistic surfing sites on the Internet. Was it gay? Family and friends deny it. Was shifter? His next claim that women's clothes found on the floor were too small for his size and perhaps were a gift. But he visited at least one bar shifters days before his death and had tickets for two shows. Are you secret service murdered another country? Who were the couple who say they visited him in his apartment? Does this couple?
Perhaps all that we unveil DNA tests be carried out on human remains found recently on the floor. But the judge coroner believes may never be known how and why Gareth Williams died.
