Spy in a coma found 'with blood everywhere' by painter who used his artist colony house
'The mystery surrounding the sudden illness of Britain's top spy deepened last night after a neighbour revealed he was found covered in blood by an artist who worked in his house.
Alex Allan, the 57-year-old chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, was still in a coma under police guard as doctors ran tests to try to identify what caused him to collapse.
He was found by wildlife painter Dominique Salm, who took over the studio in his home when his artist wife of 29 years, Katie Clemson, died of cancer last year.'
