A BBC executive died in mysterious circumstances after stripping off her clothes and walking into the sea.
Kari Boto, 53, was plucked from the water by a helicopter crew and taken to the hospital where her husband works as a doctor.
But staff there were unable to save her. Witnesses had earlier seen the mother-of-three sitting on the beach at Old Felixstowe, Suffolk, with her head in her hands.
A pile of clothes and set of car keys were found nearby. Police suspect she might have committed suicide.
But Mrs Boto's husband Tom, 54, said the couple often went swimming at the spot eight miles from their home in Ipswich and he believed she may have been caught in a strong current.

Another way in which the BBC has trouble with the truth: only the Beeb would construe an obvious suicide to be a death in "mysterious circumstances".

Either that or she fancied herself King Canute.

The weirdest part about this is it's kind of the opening "plot" to the UK dramedy "Kingdom." Simon Kingdom was supposed to have walked into the sea to kill himself. This series *just* aired on ITV.
Weird.
