This is a weird story. Is the dead guy a victim of some criminal's plot, or is he a victim of a scheme he & his friends concocted to rob the bank? His friend apparently OD'ed on Valium and other drugs the night after Wells was blown up. No one seems to know what happened exactly. Freaky!

"Brian Wells had entered a bank in Erie, Pennsylvania, and given staff a note which demanded money and said he had a bomb.

When he left the bank with stolen money he was surrounded by police and told them he had been forced to rob the bank after someone had started a timer on a bomb under his T-shirt.

As the police waited for the bomb squad to arrive the device went off killing Mr Wells.

Erie FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said a meticulous investigation into the incident would solve the mystery of Mr Wells' death."
