By Nick Pisa Updated: 10:45 GMT, 17 June 2010 Italian painter Caravaggio died in 1610 of suspected syphilis In life he was known for his brawling and hard drinking while his death has been shrouded in mystery. But, 400 years on, the remains of Italian Renaissance master Caravaggio have been found and may unlock the secret, scientists say.

Theories range from syphilis to sunstroke or even foul play. His final resting place was never recorded and he was thought to have been buried in an unmarked grave. But now it looks as though he may have been killed by his own paintings... from lead poisoning. Scientists today said they believe they have found Caravaggio's remains. Last year a collection of bones was found at Caravaggio's last-known haunt of Porto Ercole, on the coast north of Rome, buried below a church.

The allegations involving Churchill were made by the grandson of one his personal bodyguards, an RAF officer who overheard the discussion, who wrote to the Ministry of Defence in 1999 inquiring about the incident after his grandfather disclosed details to his family.

During their flight, on the English coast, possibly near Cumbria, their aircraft was approached by a metallic UFO which shadowed them. Photographs of the object, which the crew claimed had “hovered noiselessly” near the plane, were taken by the crew.
Later, during discussions about the unexplained incident, the two men were claimed to have become so concerned by the incident that Churchill ordered it remain secret for 50 years or more. “I suspect there is an element of truth to the statement.”
