The former American ambassador to Ireland dies and RTE don’t mention it!

From : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/30/richard_egan_obituary/

Obituary Richard Egan, the colourful and vigorous co-founder of EMC, went into a linen cupboard of his home at the Four Seasons condominiums on Boylston Street, Boston, and shot himself in the head with a shotgun on Friday, ending his fight against terminal lung cancer.
Egan had an amazing life, encompassing involvement in the Apollo space programme, the US Marines, starting and building the most successful storage company on the planet, and becoming the US ambassador to Ireland. Finally, aged 73 and facing a lingering death, he ended the battle decisively and on his terms. He was never a shrinking violet.

I heard it on RTE radio yesterday on the news, albeit they didn't mention the suicide bit
 
RIP, a sad and untimely end.

An enormously talented engineer and businessman, I could never think of anyone whose straight-talking uncomplicated style was less suited to the circumlocution of the diplomatic arena.
