News Item 3
    A former reporter who made allegations of widespread phone hacking by the newspaper at the centre of the scandal, the News of the World, has been found dead at his home near London. Police say they are not treating his death as suspicious.
    Sean Hoare was a show-business reporter for the News of the World when Andy Coulson was editor. He was the first journalist to claim that Andy Coulson knew about phone hacking on the paper. Mr. Coulson, who’s always denied the claim, was arrested recently. Police were called to Sean Hoare’s home in Watford this morning, and he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. Police said the death was currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious. Sean Hoare had drink and drugs problems, and was said to be in poor physical health.
