His father, Essa Shepherd, the ambassador, was informed in Islamabad. Mr Shepherd reached the hospital at 3pm and identified the body. The body was then shifted to a local hospital for autopsy. Later, the police handed it over to Mr Shepherd. The police sealed the hotel room. Sources said Mr Ameen was missing from his Islamabad residence since early Tuesday and an FIR to this effect was lodged with the Margallah police. APP adds: Police and hotel sources said Mr Ameen had committed suicide by taking petrol. Yeah - sure - right - OK - whatever you say officer - nothing to see here - move along.
