American Edward "Eddie" Davidson (aka Spam King) at one point was responsible for a large part of the spam in USA.  Yesterday, police in Denver, USA found his body and those of his wife and 3-year old daughter. 

According to preliminary police reports Edward shot his wife and baby daughter and then turned the gun on himself.

Police had been hunting for the Spam King since his wife helped him escape from a low security prison last weekend.

In April this year, computer whiz Edward was imprisoned for 21 months and fined US $715,000 for spam and not paying taxes.  The Spam King sent fraud email selling everything from watches, perfumes and even shares.  Between 2003 and 2006 he made as much as US $3.5 million.

He escaped from jail and for reasons not yet determined murdered the two and then committed suicide.

What''s odd is that Davidson had been cooperating with the FBI, working as a "consultant" to help it investigate other spammers.

But that's done now. It's all a loss. If you ever needed a reason not to indulge spammers, it's there.
