Neil Heywood died in Chongqing last November supposedly because of the over-consumption of alcohol. His family and the British embassy accepted the police findings at first but are now having doubts. The British businesman was friends with Chongqing boss, Bo Xilai. Bo is one of China's most popular politicians but has recently been removed for being a part of one of the biggest politcal scandals in the country in years. BBC understands that thought there was friendship, there were no business connections between Bo and Heywood.
A couple British nationals living in China told the UK embassy in Beijing about their susipicions regarding the death but it is not yer clear whether Chongquing police have re-opened the investigation.
There have also been some rumours going around about Heywood. Some said that he was a teetotaller meaning that he totally abstained from drinking but then others said that Heywood would drink occasionally.
