Head geologist overdosed on cough
medicine - colleague

CALGARY (CP) - The chief geologist in the Bre-X Minerals
gold mine fraud likely tried to kill himself a day before he fell
from a helicopter and died, says a huge report released
Wednesday.
Investigators looking into the fraud said Michael de Guzman,
who died last March 19 after falling from a helicopter over the
Indonesian jungle, likely jumped because he faced being
exposed.
"Michael said he had fallen asleep in the bathtub (the night of
March 18) after drinking an entire bottle of cough medicine,"
said Rudy Vega, a Bre-X employee in Indonesia.
"It was my impression Michael had tried to commit suicide
that night by drinking the bottle of cough medicine in hopes
of falling asleep in the bathtub and drowning."
He said de Guzman made the comments as the two drove to
the airport the next day.
