Regardless of your political views, or your opinion of Bob Ryan as a writer, this is terribly tragic news:
An American diplomat in Pakistan has been found dead at his home in Islamabad after apparently committing suicide, Pakistani police say. The US embassy in Islamabad named the official as Keith Ryan. It said that his death would be investigated but were no indications of foul play. Mr Ryan worked for the Department of Homeland Security.
And from Bill Burt:
Word had circulated around the media room this morning that Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan’s son had died in Afghanistan.
My prayers go out to Bob and his family.
