I have just listened to a rather strange interview on BBC Radio 5 Live. A woman was being interviewed about her brother. Apparently, this brother and sister were quite close (or she thought they were). He had a drink-and-drug problem from the 1980's and 1990's, and had been to rehab three times but relapsed shortly after treatment stopped.
When he died her house was raided by Customs & Excise who alleged that he was involved in an international drug smuggling ring, acting as a front renting property for the ring. She didn't know about this, and is cheezed off that he didn't tell her, or her husband (the brother's best mate), what he was getting involved in. He died in a right state, emaciated from drink-and-drugs.
While listening to this interview I thought, there are much bigger skeletons, real, boney, fractured, skeletons in the cupboards of other families that could and should be investigated.
