	Castlereagh became unpopular because of the repressive policy of the Conservative government, and suffered a nervous breakdown. In August 1822 he told the King (George IV) that he was being blackmailed for "the same crime as the [[Bishop of Clogher]]" – in other words, homosexuality. A few days later he committed suicide by cutting his throat with a penknife.
