Subject: Watergate scandal informant Deep Throat dies

Written By: Philip Eno on 12/19/08 at 2:04 am

Watergate scandal informant dies

Mark Felt, the former FBI official who revealed himself to be Deep Throat, the source that exposed the Nixon-era Watergate scandal, has died.

His family say he died at a hospice near his home in California, aged 95.

Deep Throat helped reporters from the Washington Post newspaper uncover abuses of presidential powers in the Nixon White House.

The scandal ultimately led President Richard Nixon to resign in disgrace in August 1974.

Mystery surrounded the identity of Deep Throat - named after a popular pornographic movie of the time - for decades, until Mark Felt admitted being the source in 2005.

"I'm the guy they used to call Deep Throat," he told the US magazine Vanity Fair in an article that revealed his secret.

Until then, the Washington Post had refused to confirm his identity.

Reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had said they would only break their silence after his death.
