Singapore’s state counsel said U.S. research engineer Shane Todd was found hanging from a black strap in front of a door in his home when the police found him.
Todd, who was 31 when he died in June last year, was in a standing position with a white towel wrapped around his neck, Senior State Counsel Tai Wei Shyong said on the first day of the coroner’s inquest. The police didn’t find any signs of foul play, he said.
The case drew queries from senators of Todd’s home state of Montana after his family said he was killed, contradicting the police’s report that showed he committed suicide. As many as 63 people may give evidence over the two-week hearing, according to Gloria James-Civetta, a lawyer for Todd’s family.
“The state is acutely aware of the strong public interest in this case,” Tai said. “We are committed to presenting all the relevant evidence to the Court, so that a proper determination can be made as to the cause of and circumstances surrounding Shane’s death.”
His father Rick Todd has said his son’s death may be tied to his work at Singapore’s Institute of Microelectronics and possible technology transfers to China’s Huawei Technologies Co. Full story...
