Riddle of Scottish traveller 'shot dead by a gang of Somali pirates.'
Article Abstract:
Relatives of Alan MacLean, who is reported to have been killed by armed pirates aboard the French-registered yacht 'Correlation' off the coast of Somalia, are not convinced that this is really what happened to him. Indeed, they doubt that he is dead at all, even though it is certainly true that there have been attacks on ships sailing close to the Somali coast. They have revealed that MacLean had expressed concern about his safety aboard the yacht, and question why the pirates did not kill the French skipper, Philippe Sorel, and a female companion.

Jonathan Gloag had it all. It wasn't enough
Article Abstract:
It appears that Jonathan Gloag, who mother Ann is a co-founder of the extremely successful company Stagecoach, committed suicide as the result of a long-term depressive illness. He had no financial worries, having a stake in his mother's fortune, and enjoyed a happy family life. However, there were some negative elements in his life, including his estrangement from his father and the fact that it was hard for him to establish a rewarding career.
