Thanks JT, autosport appear to know the most about it. Renault's Millar died from shot in the head By Pablo Elizalde Friday, August 1st 2008, 14:30 GMT Police have confirmed the Renault staff member who was killed earlier this week at their factory died from a shot to the head. Thames Valley police said, however, that they were not treating William Millar's death as suspicious, which seems to suggest the 53-year-old killed himself. "A 53-year-old man was seen walking down a bridleway on the Renault site," a police spokesman was quoted as saying by the Telegraph. "A few moments later a shot was fired. His body was discovered at the scene and he had died from a shot to the head. "We are not treating this incident as suspicious and a file has been passed to the coroner." The newspaper said a post-mortem examination is due to be carried out today.
