Police, meanwhile, continue to probe the 35-year-old Canadian's death, and have asked anyone with info to call either Warwickshire Police's incident room on 01926 415581 or anonymously via CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111. ® BootnoteThanks to Lee Ball for the tip-off. 20 comments posted — Comment period finished Unfortunate yes, but..Posted: 08:57 17th August 2007 Huh?Posted: 09:05 17th August 2007 Oh dearPosted: 09:10 17th August 2007 Girlie Bike?Posted: 09:13 17th August 2007 Almost the best......Posted: 09:31 17th August 2007
