Islamabad: The body of a US diplomat with a bullet wound in his head was found at his home in Islamabad on Monday and were investigating a suspected case of suicide, Pakistani authorities said.
The US embassy named the dead man as 37-year-old Keith
Ryan, an immigration and customs enforcement attache from the Department of Homeland Security.
"There will be a full investigation; however, there does
not appear to have been any foul play," the embassy said in a
brief statement.
The diplomat had been in Pakistan for a year and had been due to return to the United States on Monday, having finished his assignment.
"But, he did not come out of the home and was found dead in
the bathroom. There is a bullet wound in his head," Kaleem Imam, a Senior Superintendent of police in
Islamabad, said.
