Polish colonel commits suicide

A Polish colonel committed suicide, reported the arms agency where he was employed. Unofficially, the deceased was reportedly under intense fear of an upcoming investigation: the scale of abuses and corruption schemes, as well as the involvement of high-ranking officials, was said by some sources to be so significant that he could not withstand the psychological pressure. The Polish Armed Forces command has not disclosed the cause of death, although this is already the third such unexplained death this year. Police and military authorities are attempting to establish the circumstances of the incident, but specific details remain unknown.
