Renault engineer commits suicide at factory!!

Sorry if in wrong place but I don't know where it should go.



Employees and management at Renault were shocked and saddened to discover the body of William Millar dead last week at the company's racing headquarters in Enstone with a mortal bullet wound to the head. The 53-year-old R&D engineer had been with the team for 27 years, remaining at his post as the team changed ownership and name from Toleman to Bennetton and then Renault. Sources suggest that Millar had shot himself in the head with a firearm, and police are not treating the incident with suspicion. Our condolences to the colleagues, friends and family of the departed.

Why would he do this though? Personal problems? Fear of loosing his job?

Re: Renault engineer commits suicide at factory!!

Should read "Renault engineer commits suicide at factory again"

There have been quite a lot of suicide in the Renault Technocentre or workers in their home blaming the company enslaving management method.
The true face of ghosn the beancounter is shown here... And I don't think it will stop anytime soon...

That is sadly true. It has to be the fourth or fifth suicide of a Renault worker/engineer in a few months... Terrible.

Re: Renault engineer commits suicide at factory!!

Tragic news indeed, at least no other people were physically harmed in the factory. It is a higly dangerous situation when you have a mentally ill person with a deadly weapon in hand. I hate to say it, but what I said in my signature is becoming real.
