Police vans stand guard outside the Sagerska Palace, the official residence of the Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, after a man died inside either by committing suicide or in an accident on Friday.
STOCKHOLM — A man has died inside Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's residence in Stockholm after either committing suicide or an accident, but the prime minister and his family were safe, police said Friday.
"There are no signs of a crime. We investigate this as a suicide or a work-related accident," Towe Hagg, a police spokeswoman, told Reuters.
Media said the man died of gunshot wounds.
The dead man was not part of the prime minister's personal bodyguards but had full clearance to be in the building. Another official said he was a security guard who worked at the residence.

Good thin the herd
I'm sure that thins the herd....
They always make it look like suicide...
Ironic...just finished reading "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson...could be a page right out of the book.
"man died of gunshot wounds" Doesn't sound like an accident or suicide if you ask me. Someone wanted "Sven" dead.
This report hasn't made the IceNews website yet. "Work-related accident"? "Suicide"? Winter's Coming!
Never send the butler to clean the arsenal.
Something nasty afoot in Sweden. Natural gunshot wounds huh?
I wonder did he hear the words " shoot this mother ******" or did he fall on the bullets at high speed lol a professional doesn't shoot himself by accident
The man who either committed suicide or accidentally shot himself- was a security person on the premises. PM Frfedrik Reinfeldt was not at his residence in Sagerska palatset in Stockholm but one of his sons was on the premises-never in any danger. According to Sapo (Swedish criminal police)there was no criminal activity with this shooting.You can read/see vidoe at http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article15751890.ab)
The Sweedish version of "Murder at 1600."
The Russion version would report: "Suicide. Victim confessed."
Bizarre. This location would not be a place where someone would commit suicide. I would say he was killed. Are PM members exempt from investigation and prosecution ? I hope not. It is fishy. Gun shot wounds ? more than one ? that was done by another person.....for sure.
