Only a spy agency would find one of its own dead, padlocked into a gym bag in his own bathtub, and declare it to be "most probably" a solo accident. (Squickful descriptions.)
Okay, then; they're all Room 101 at this hotel, aren't they?

What's the frequency, Kenneth? And the Enigma rotor settings?
I've been hearing about this all week. "No other person involved."? I don't quite believe that one.
I saw this in the news and thought of the punchline to a (very racist) joke from my childhood: "The Sheriff called it the worst case of suicide he'd ever seen."
They could have at least planted a Harry Houdini biography at the scene.
Most gym bags scale around 1700 to 2600 cubic inches, or 1 to 1.5 cubic feet. Enough space for a set of sweats, sneakers, skivvies and soap.
I suppose a very large person could squeeze a very small person into a gym bag but closing it from the inside would be a neat trick.
I cannot say whether it was homicide or homocide but there was certainly an external hand on the zipper pull.

Better a questionable suicide on the books than an unsolved homicide. Looks better for CompStat.
I have seen more improbable exploits from MI-6 while watching James Bond, so I guess anything could happen. (tongue in cheek)
Dave, "racism" depends on the setting. The version of that story I've heard was of a Chicago Alderman, found shot twice in the back of the head. The coroner's verdict (presumably after learning of the Alderman's disagreement with the Mayor): "The worst case of suicide I've ever seen." Everyone involved was white. There might have been a time when such stories could be an aspersion on the Irish who once dominated politics in many big cities, but Mayor Daley's reputation as a gang-connected politician lasted long past the time when anyone cared about him being Irish.
