Badri Patarkatsishvili is dead.

The man who ran against the Georgian President Sahakashvili in January is dead. He died in the UK in what the police say was a heart attack. The BBC describes it as 'suspicious'.

This is the second high profile death related to Sahakashvili. His first Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania died a few years ago in a CO poisoning incident due to a faulty heater.

It's a dangerous job to be around Mr. Sahakashvili.
