"A man who died after spending time with Pete Doherty at a party has been said to have been &amp;quot;dropped to his death&amp;quot;. The actor Mark Blanco died after falling from a first floor balcony in East London in 2006, at a party where Doherty was in attendance.   Now the NME reports that BBC&amp;#039;s Newsnight has been conducting its own investigation into the incident, after police have failed to come up with an answer for what happened. A US video forensics analyst concluded that CCTV images of Blanco falling from the balcony are &amp;quot;consistent with a person being carried and literally dropped over the edge of the balcony&amp;quot;. Doherty was implicated in the incident after a 2007 inquest found that the singer had asked his minder Jonathan Jeannevol to &amp;quot;have a word&amp;quot; with Bianco after he had &amp;quot;annoyed him&amp;quot;. CCTV footage shows Doherty running away from Blanco&amp;#039;s body, an action about which Doherty has said he is &amp;quot;completely ashamed&amp;quot;. However, Doherty has not been charged after two inquiries into the death. The singer also insisted in a blog post last year: &amp;quot;When he fell or jumped he was alone. That is what happened. He either fell or was making an extreme point about the nature of life imitating art.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
