Pete Doherty ‘must face questioning,’ says mom of dead actor
London, Jul 8 (ANI): Brit singer Pete Doherty may face police questioning in connection with the death of an actor who plunged to his death after a row with him.
Sheila Blanco’s son Mark, 30, had died after he fell from the first floor of a flat in Whitechapel, east London.
Just before his death in December 2006, Mark had had a confrontation with Doherty, 30, and two others, and now his mother has said that the singer “must face questioning”.
According to the police, Blanco’s son had killed himself trying to jump to a lamppost.
But a coroner has now ordered the Met to reopen its investigation.
“I want the truth to come out,” the Daily Star quoted Blanco, who is raising cash for her own inquiry, as saying.
Doherty’s spokesman said that the verdict given previously by the police was right.
“The conclusion the police came to initially is the correct one,” he said.
“We have heard nothing about the conclusion of the second investigation, so are unable to comment further at this stage,” he added. (ANI)[NF]
