Just Interesting to Note... Jonathan Philbin Bowman Died from a Drunken Fall

I just noticed a figure from the America's Most Wanted video I hadn't heard of before, Jonathan Philbin Bowman, with ties to the Ira saga.  Seems they were neighbors during Ira's Ireland days.  Bowman was young during that time, and eventually went on to host game shows and hosted radio programs.  

He died in mysterious circumstances in March, 2000, right around the time Ira's extradition was being negotiated with France. 

As reported in 2000,

Inquest told of journalist's fatal blood loss after fall JOURNALIST Jonathan Philbin Bowman died of shock and bleeding after he sustained ``superficial injuries'' following a fall in his home last March, an inquest heard yesterday.

Dublin City Coroner's Court heard that Jonathan (31), of Fitzgerald Street, Harold's Cross was pronounced dead on March 6 but may have lain undiscovered for up to 50 hours.
