The radiation expert who discovered the poison that killed Alexander Litvinenko "committed suicide" by stabbing himself repeatedly with two knives months after a trip to Russia, a coroner ruled.

Matthew Puncher, 46, bled to death at his home after receiving multiple stab wounds across his body from two kitchen knives, an inquest heard.

A pathologist said he could not completely exclude the possibility that someone else had been involved in the death of the father, but came to the conclusion that the injuries were self-inflicted.

“Arkancide spreads over the world.”

I doub that this was Arkancide in that the Clintons were involved or served. KGB/FSB, yes. But if this was a pro job, it was very sloppy.

I never fail to be amazed at how skilled doctors are at being clinical in the most gruesome circumstances.

Henry Marshall, LBJ, look it up. The local coroner ruled it a suicide. Poor guy was so depressed he shot himself 5 times in the torso with a bolt action .22 rifle.

After outing Putin as a killer-by-proxy a while back, he visits Russia?

I think the world-wide production is around 500 grams/year.

Back in the day...it was used in textile mills for static discharge purposes. Technology has moved on.

We need to license suicides and require a course.....there are just too many people botching their suicide the first time, and enduring needless pain while they stab and shoot themselves multiple times.

That was the joke about Salvador Allende, the commie president of Chile the military overthrew.

Uncanny. I know I’ve read that before. But I can’t remember where. What’s the reference?

It's an old joke. I first read it in a parody newspaper back in the 70's.

Sounds like the “suicide” of a Reserve Component Army Captain at Ft. Knox some years ago. The Captain stabbed himself in the back 20 some times while out on his morning PT run.We know that this is true as the Commanding General said it was.
