The Deaths of Five Microbiologists: Murder, Suicide, Accident

I've looked and looked, but I can't find it, and I didn't save it. What I recall is an article from a few days before 12/28 saying that the autopsy was scheduled for Friday (which would have been 12/28) and that it was expected to be two weeks before results were released.

But I can't find the article. Maybe I'm just wrong, or it was an incorrect report.

Oh, I agree it wasn't suicide. I knew Don - he was the head of the Ph.D. program I graduated from - and he's the least likely suicide candidate I've ever met. The guy radiated positivity, and he had good reason to: he was hyperintelligent, well-liked, successful, and certainly very well -off if not rich.

I just think it's more likely to have been some run-of-the-mill murder that an elaborate conspiracy.

You're no doubt right about it probably being a run of the mill crime. I've just had a vendetta of sorts lately, in trying to find updates on certain stories that the media plays up for days and days, then never reports the outcome!

I've e-mailed many sites that had articles about this, and the only one to respond with anything new was Jeff Rense, saying his sources (I guess) say the local coroner is very upset about 'normal procedures' having been circumvented in this case. I know he is not the most reliable of sources; just informing folks of what he told me.

E-mailed Boston Globe (among others) and their response was "Good Question", and that they had not checked on it for some time. They e-mail me back again in about 5 minutes, saying 'no new information'. Got the feeling all they did was do a google search!
