The British founder of the organisation that trained the Syrian rescue group known as the White Helmets has died in Istanbul.
A spokesman for the White Helmets confirmed on Monday afternoon the death of James Le Mesurier and said further details were yet to be established.
Le Mesurier, 48, was found dead near his apartment in central Istanbul’s Beyoğlu neighbourhood at around 4.30am. Turkish media reports said he was found with fractures to his head and legs and appeared to have fallen from a balcony.

LeMersurier was formerly an MI6 agent, before leaving that philantropic society to devote himself full time to the betterment of mankind.
Happily, the White Helmets were well funded by socially conscious organisations, like the British Foreign Office.

In early May, CBS confirmed that the US administration had frozen aid to the Syrian Civil Defense organization known as the “White Helmets.” The US State Department said the aid–which is part of a $200 million assistance package–has come under close review since March.

So why is the British Foreign Office such a humanitarian super-power?

I like the white helmets because I believe they actually mitigate casualties but they do have some problematic aspects

Why do you spell it LeMersurier but it’s LeMesurier in the article.

I wonder if he was murdered to cover up for bill and Hillary being air dropped into hospitals for some bedside molestings. How horrible would it be to wake up in a Syrian hospital and see Hillary Clinton was your nurse?

Days before he plunged from a window in Istanbul to his death last year, White Helmets co-founder and British mercenary James Le Mesurier admitted to defrauding Mayday Rescue, an organization that fundraised for the anti-government rescue group in Syria.
According to documents seen by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, Le Mesurier told an accountant sent to audit the charity’s books that he forged receipts for $50,000, pretending that it was sent to finance an evacuation operation in Syria. Instead, the money was paid to Le Mesurier himself. In addition to paying himself a salary of €24,000 ($27,414) per month, Le Mesurier dipped into company cash to finance a lavish wedding in Istanbul in 2018, and to issue loans to his new wife, former diplomat Emma Winberg, the report claims.

€24k a month though ... good money being a spook.
