Bob Ryan's Son Dies in Pakistan

Keith Ryan, the son of Boston Globe columnist and occassional PTI host Bob Ryan, died in Pakistan Monday.
Keith Ryan had been in Islamabad since December 2006 as a Homeland Security attache to the U.S. embassy.
He was scheduled to fly home Monday but earlier that day he was found dead.
U.S. officials said Keith committed suicide but according to the Boston Herald, Pakistani news agencies say that Keith was actually shot in the back of the head from several feet away.
As sad as it is to lose a child, it has to be 10 times worse under these circumstances. We feel very sad for Bob Ryan and for Keith's 8 year old triplets.
