A federal prosecutor in
Argentina who had been investigating President Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner was found dead with a weapon close to his
body, but authorities said they are not sure it was suicide.
Alberto Nisman, 51, had been threatened, said an opposition
MP Patricia Bullrich, who said she spoke twice on the phone last
Saturday with Nisman.
"We cannot exclude any hypothesis," investigators said
after Nisman's body was found Sunday.
Nisman had alleged a cover-up involving Kirchner as he
investigated the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires
in which 85 people died.
His mother found his body in the bathroom of his home,
after body guards could not reach him by phone on Sunday, BBC
reported on its website.
Nisman had been scheduled to present his allegations
against Kirchner and others on Monday to a congressional
committee.
