A British hostage held in Iraq for nearly a year may have committed suicide according to the Sunday Times.
A group of militants who claim to be holding the men hostage released a video stating that a man named Jason died at the end of May.
The British government is not able to confirm their story.
The five men have been held captive since a raid on the Finance Ministry by insurgents wearing police uniforms. Four of the men were private security contractors and the fifth was a computer programmer.

I guess we will only find out the truth about what really happened when - and if - the other hostages are released. The kidnappers are laying the blame firmly with the UK government, but there's no way we can begin to negotiate with these kind of people. To do so would be signing a death warrant for every person who sets foot in Iraq.

Perhaps, the hostage felt degraded and abused to a point of life no longer having value.
