A medical researcher said to be on the “verge of making very significant” coronavirus findings was found shot to death over the weekend in Pennsylvania, officials said. Bing Liu, 37, a researcher for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, was found dead Saturday inside a home in Ross Township, north of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner said. He had been shot in the head and neck, the agency said. An hour after Liu's body was discovered, a second person, Hao Gu, 46, was found dead inside a car less than a mile away, the agency said. Ross Township Police Detective Sgt. Brian Kohlhepp told the Associated Press that the men “appeared to be connected beyond their proximity to each other.” A motive for the killings remained unknown, and the relationship between the men was also unclear.

Liu, who earned a PhD in computational science from the National University of Singapore, worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University before becoming a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. In a statement, the University of Pittsburgh described him as an excellent mentor and prolific researcher who had co-authored more than 30 papers. His work focused on systems biology. “Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications,” the school said. “We will make an effort to complete what he started in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence.”

Word on the street here is that it was just the Chinese Communist Party Mafia tying up loose ends of people who knew too much. Local media initially reported only the murder and suggested the guy in the car was the perp and a suicide. They wouldn't (or couldn't) even identify him.

Now, it is starting to look like two murders. Imagine that!

OK, the scenario: Hao Gu reported Bing’s progress in his studies to his handler in chinese intel. In turn, chinese intel determined that Bing was flying too close to the sun and offed him. Then they offed Hao Gu to remove the witness.

It’s as good as any, better than most (as Shane told the kid he was showing his method of fast-draw).

I wonder if they were ‘quickly’ embalmed before the family got notified?

Oh, I figure they'll come around to the same level of interest shown by Seth Rich's family (after they were made an offer they couldn't refuse).

This happened close to where I live. The local cops & media, to my knowledge, has not released the identity of the dead guy in the car (the alleged perp). Do you have more info?

Our prison system is too costly to investigate crimes like the properly. I say penal colony where there’s plenty of open space.

Since this is running on Yahoo, makes me think somehow this will eventually be tied to Trump.
