Was Robocop Murdered by the Security Services?
A police officer who was renowned for his work against London drug dealers was found dead in his flat from a heroin overdose. David Pilling, 47, who was nicknamed “Robocop” for his efforts in tackling drugs, was found collapsed at his home in Camden earlier this year. An inquest heard yesterday how an overdose of injected heroin killed the officer. Traces of cocaine and Ecstasy were also in his system. His death in March shocked friends, colleagues and family, none of whom had any idea he took drugs. Toxicology reports revealed his blood contained levels of heroin more than four times the amount associated with fatal overdoses. An investigation found he had been looking at websites on how to take drugs just before his death. PC Pilling built up a reputation for tackling drug dealers on his West End beat.
