Activities
Ng “went to Guatemala to see a key witness that was alleged to have important information tying the U.S. Justice Department to the BCCI scandal.”
Death
Ng was murdered in his apartment in Guatemala; his body was in his bathtub.
Similar death
According to an official statement of then Senator Alan Cranston, Ng “may have been killed because he was investigating the scandal-ridden Bank of Credit and Commerce International.” Specifically, “Ng’s murder was related to his probe into arms trafficking allegedly carried out by BCCI.”
Ng’s murder resembles the death of Danny Casolaro, another journalist who was investgating the BCCI. Both were found dead in their bathtub, both had documents that were never found.
