A member of the Georgian presidential clemency commission has committed suicide, police said Saturday, just two days after the death of Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania. He didn't have the clemency vision thing.
Officials denied any political connection between the victim and the late prime minister.
A total coincidence. Government officials have died in office like flies since the time of that great Georgian Stalin
Georgy Khelashvili, 32, was found dead of a gunshot wound at his home Friday night. Even before the suicide of Khelashvili, many Georgians wondered whether authorities were telling the truth about Zhvania's death
Who? Who doubts the authorities in Georgia? ,
as Georgia has a history of political intrigue and violence.
Compared to what? Venice Tudor and Stuart England, Chicago?
Khelashvili was a member of the state presidential commission on pardons.
Perhaps he'd been neglecting those duties. Some people can be very impatient.
Initial media reports said he was also a member of Zhvania's former United Democrats political bloc. Officials confirmed Friday that Zhvania died of carbon-monoxide poisoning, apparently as a result of an improperly ventilated space heater at the apartment of a friend, who also died.
The Prime Minister gave space heaters to all his closest friends so he would be warm on visits.
Zhvania's body was scheduled to be moved from his mother's home later Saturday to Tbilisi's Holy Trinity Cathedral, where a funeral will be held Sunday.
