| Daft.   |  Milosevic found dead in his cell Milosevic found dead in his cell  Mr Milosevic's health had delayed his trialFormer Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has died in the detention centre at The Hague tribunal. The tribunal said he had been found dead in his cell on Saturday morning. The cause of death is not yet clear. Mr Milosevic, 64, has been on trial at the UN war crimes tribunal for genocide and other war crimes since 2001. The tribunal last month rejected a request by Mr Milosevic to go to Russia for medical treatment. He had high blood pressure and a heart condition. The tribunal has ordered an inquiry into the death. "Milosevic was found lifeless on his bed in his cell at the United Nations detention unit," the tribunal said in a statement. "The guard immediately alerted the detention unit officer in command and the medical officer. The latter confirmed that Slobodan Milosevic was dead." Charges Mr Milosevic faced charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged central role in the wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo during the 1990s. He also faced genocide charges over the 1992-95 Bosnia war, in which 200,000 people died. Mr Milosevic was in office for 13 years until 2000. European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said he hoped the death would help Serbia finally to come to terms with its past and allow it to look to the future. Mr Milosevic's brother Borislav was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying that the international war crimes court was "entirely responsible" for his death. BBC News Link |

| Non-Commissioned Officer   | Re: Milosevic found dead in his cell No, no, no...NO He has not escaped justice for him justice has just started. Him dying was the decent thing to do, he could have selfishly held on untill he was sentenced before dying costing $$ for the trial, at least this way is saves the bucks for the next hitler wannabe so lets be happy for him for I am one who would like to be a fly on the wall when he gets to the pearly gates .
