【綜合外電報道】聯合國一名參與伊朗核問題會談的英國核子專家，在出席會談前一日突然從聯合國的大樓離奇墮樓死亡，懷疑被人謀殺。巧合的是，另一名聯合國人員四個月之前也在同一地點墮樓身亡，死者相信亦是英國人。
警方稱無發現漢普頓留下自殺遺書，現時仍會從自殺及謀殺兩個可能性展開調查。雖然聯合國發言人指漢普頓的死因無可疑，但他的身份加上死亡時間，令事件引起外界猜測。而四個月之前，一名相信是英籍的聯合國人員也在同一幢大樓墮樓身亡，案件仍在調查。

Brit UN nuclear expert may have been murdered, police say
By Thomas Hochwarter
A British nuclear energy expert who plunged 40 metres to his death at the United Nations’ (UN) building in Vienna may have been murdered, police said today (Thurs).
Timothy Hampton died on the spot on Tuesday after falling from a 17th floor window at the Vienna International Centre (VIC) - one of the UN’s three headquarters.
The UN confirmed the death of the 47-year-old – who was involved in disarmament negotiations with Iran as a member of the UN’s Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) – but refused to give any further information on the circumstances of the fatality.
A police spokesman told the Austrian Times today that investigators had not ruled out murder as no suicide note has been found.
"Whenever there is a case where others may have been involved we will investigate all the possible scenarios. Murder is one possibility, suicide another," the spokesman said.
He added investigators were waiting for the result of an autopsy.
UN staff told the Austrian Times yesterday that there had been a similar case just recently in which an employee died when he fell from a similar height at the landmark buildings in Vienna-Donaustadt.
