Ever since Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, a mystical and mercurial philosopher at the court of Lorenzo de' Medici, suddenly became sick and died in 1494, it has been rumoured that foul play was involved.Yesterday they concluded that both men had been poisoned with arsenic, after finding a toxic quantity in their bones.

High levels of mercury and lead were also found.

Well, duuuuh.
