[edit] It's more to this

Lie did not commit suicide. He died from a heart attack due to stress and the consumation of a large quantity of alchohol.

It should also be mentioned that he was å high rank police officer before the war. Among other thing he visited the FBI to study their methods, and he escorted Lev Trotsky to Mexico when the Russian was expelled from Norway. Lie was also, like his father and grandfather, a novellist. His greatest success as an author was his thrillers, published during the 1930's under the alias of Max Mauser. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linkomfod (talk • contribs) 17:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Lie died during a desperate shootout with the authorities at Skallum on 11 May 1945. According to Sverre Rødder's biography of Lie, Min ære er troskap (Aschehoug, 1990), p. 222, that he died of alcohol-related illbess is mere speculation. The other details of his life you mention are true, and should be added sometime, maybe when Bernt Rougthvedt's coming biography of Lie is published. — Zalktis 18:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
