A British nuclear expert has plunged to his death from the 17th floor of a United Nations HQ, just as top-level talks with Iran began.
The 47-year-old official, only identified so far as Timothy H, toppled about 120ft from the UN's building in the Austrian capital yesterday.
He is believed to have been a member of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation and was due to take part in the UN-Iran discussions starting today.

“...toppled...”? That’s an odd, whimsical word to use.

That is creepy........what did he know and why commit suicide (murdered?) in such a public way at such a specific time at the U.N. building discussing Iran nukes? Was he mistaken for Mr. Caplan to or is the $hit about to hit the fan?

Maybe the U.N. has adopted “the Chicago Way”.

Its very easy to overdose on gravity.

Did he shoot himself in the back twice before he jumped?

The M.O. of the U.N. is the Chicago Way.

"toppled?"
Other witnesses described more of a sashay or flounce.

Anybody remember all those microbiologists who died mysteriously shortly after the 911 attacks?

Perhaps related to “Moon scientist Stewart Nozette held as Israeli spy in FBI sting” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2367581/posts
Just a little odd that 2 Western nuclear scientists with high level nuclear security clearances, who deal with the Middle East, go “down” within 24 hours of each other.
