It would not necessarily be advertised anywhere if his death was of any other nature than work. And apart from that, the fact that Becks herself has not mentioned anything at all indicates to me the door has been closed to the outside public. That alone should be respected.

If you read back throught the threads about this there is mention of DD "Fighting til the end" and that he died away from Afghan but not at home, which leads me to believe he was elsewhere in the world doing his job. When any soldier/marine/ariman/sailor dies on ops the new filters back within hours to those around them, and from there into the army rumour mill. There's been nothing about DD - diddly-squat, nada, nowt, zilch and bugger all. I know he was reputed to be SBS, but even then news gets back that one of their unit has been killed, even if a name isn't released, again nothing at all has filtered back.

Now if DD was being buried with full military honours then he'd have been doing something the MoD aren't ashamed to admit to -covert ops in Aghan maybe (but we're told he didn't die there by Becks), or something else you'd expect there to be no fallout from. If they're going to bury him with full military honours then it's usual to release his name to the public once his family have been informed, again there's been nothing.

Make of it what you will, but I'm going to put my neck on the line here and admit that I am more than a bit sceptical about the whole story. There's just too much about the whole thing that shouts "Fake" to me and I'm not afraid to say my piece on the matter either.
