Blind Item #8 - A Birdie Blind Item

When it comes to celebrity suicides, there is often an element of the inexplicable. Not so much, this one. If the cache of files - obtained through years of surveillance, and statements from at least one defector - are ever released, you'll know that his spying went beyond walking into a certain embassy, drunk, this one time. He believed that he might end up like the famous/notorious couple, which is a sad irony. It's not that they had stopped bugging his phones, and reading his mail - especially at the western retreat - but he was by then a has-been, professionally speaking, and otherwise. Not even the intelligence community cared about him anymore.
