He (allegedly, of course… :-) ) died in a small hotel room with a companion not being his legal wife. Try google for the juicier details.

It was funny how many commenters in Ynet and Nrg were -aching- to know his name ;-)

yeah, they didn’t mention him by name (for semi-obvious reason, i suppose, such as Israeli media’s hypocrisy…)

Adam – What happened with Ben Elisar?

Sharon – Thanks, now I know why I couldn’t find it. I was looking for it by his name (צוריאל רפאל) which they have ‘neglected’ to mention, and by the country’s name in a different spelling- ‘אל סלוודור’.

Amit – The newsdesk editors had a blast all over the world with this one ;-)

btw, its really fun to see the headline guys having a blast with this story:
“Diplomat stripped of post”
“Envoy couldn’t work out the kinks”
“Ambassador bound to get boot”
“Undiplomatic ties cost drunk ambassador his job”
“Who’s been a naughty ambassador then?”
