The pathologist who carried out the post-mortem on weapons inspector Dr David Kelly is under investigation after 'mixing up' two servicemens' remains.
Dr Nicholas Hunt is at the centre of an official probe after being criticised for making 14 mistakes in his report on the death of Senior Aircraftman Christopher Bridge in Afghanistan.
Now the Disciplinary Committee for Forensic Pathologists (DCFP) has confirmed it is investigating the blunders.
Not only is the development worrying because Dr Hunt is responsible for conducting post-mortems on the bodies of all servicemen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it raises fresh questions about the death of Dr Kelly.
Government scientist Dr Kelly, 59, apparently committed suicide after being outed by the Labour as the source of a BBC story claiming Downing Street was responsible for 'sexing up' a dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
An inquiry found that the UN weapons inspector killed himself in woodland near his Oxfordshire home by severing an artery in his left wrist after overdosing on painkillers.
But campaigners believe Dr Kelly was murdered. Eminent doctors claim the artery he severed is too small and difficult to access and cutting it could not have caused death.
Dr Hunt also inexplicably changed his mind after examining Dr Kelly's body.
