Serbian ambassador Oliver Antic has died today, apparently drowned, at the notorious beauty spot ‘Boca do Inferno’ (Mouth of Hell) off the Cascais boardwalk.

It’s not clear how the accident happened.

According to a report by Correio da Manhã, the ambassador was in a car, being driven, when he told the driver to stop at the top of the cliff.

He then “threw himself off”, writes the paper.

Other news sources contain themselves to saying “causes of this accident are still to clarify”.

WTAF?! When I read this article, the first thing I thought was "this is JANKY as hell"... It appears that he committed suicide but this just seems off as hell

1. Just to clar - Serbia's ambassador to Portugal, not to the US. (Nt)

4. Yes, I know. If you'll notice, it DOES say that this guy was the Ambassador to PORTUGAL!

However, this has to be the weirdest "suicide" I have ever heard of. With pootie-poo on the warpath & his serial killer history, it would NOT surrprise to me to find out that he was suicided because he disagreed with &/or knew too much. I mean, WHO TF asks his driver to pull over to a horrifically dangerous area so they can "ACCIDENTLY" fall off the cliff? WTF?

2. 'For now the Serbian ministry of foreign affairs has simply confirmed Mr Antic's death,

“as a result of an accident”, describing his “professionalism and dedication” as well as his contribution to “improving relations between Serbia and Portugal”.'

3. "Ok, driver, stop. I want to have an accident right here"

8. I know, right? This makes as much sense as a mud window. I mean, WHO the hell takes their own life

in this manner? Makes ZERO sense...Something stinks...

14. We have visitors selfie-ing themselves off cliffs occasionally

Maybe that?
I agree it’s wierd

9. I did use the published title as the title, it happened TODAY, I searched dilligently for the story

on DU to prevent duplication, It ISN'T an opinion piece and considering that putin is doing what he is, his history of killing those who oppose him and his stated goal of wanting to reassemble the USSR w/as seize the satellite states, it IS of national interest.

10. With no intent as snark...

There are some of us who don't spend 23 hours a day glued to DU. Some view other sites - some have jobs that take 8 hours or more - some have other things to do.

Unfortunately, I had a medical emergency today (not me but a close relative) so I couldn't spend the entire day on DU. When I got back (things with my BIL were fortunately ok) I ate, relaxed, sat down and turned on the net, checked news then went to some sites. So I didn't see or hear about this until rather late and while it doesn't affect me, it does concern a friend who is from that country, has relatives there and tries to stay aware of happenings in his old country. So I could forward the info and link to him.

Maybe some stay tuned to DU or other sites 24/7 so they don't miss something that's 12 and a half hours old, but people do have other interests and sometimes you miss a story that happened sometimes more than 12 hours ago. It's nice that someone posts some of that content. It's not as though there's a hurried limit to stories as DU more than occasionally has dupes of many stories to choose from. And there are certainly times when not a lot is updated so it's nice to read something that isn't referred to the same item in ten or fifteen other ways.

And it doesn't seem to happen that often, so maybe rather than complaining to let others know it's "old news" (maybe not to them), it may be news to someone who has other things to do in life.

Thanks for the article REAl_Ecumenist.

13. Very nice place.

You know WWI was started by the death of a Serbian. Perhaps Putin is paying tribute to the war gods.
