Does anyone here find it somewhat problematic that bio-weapons researchers off themselves with Tylenol and wrist slitting? I mean if there were ever people in control of a swift and painless departure, these guys would be just those with the know-how.

Tylenol?????? Gimme a break........

I didn’t even know Tylenol was lethal.

This guy slit his wrists too?

As far as tylenol goes...the article I read described it as prescription tylenol with codeine added to it (”tylenol 3”)
While many people do commit suicide using regular tylenol - it is correct when it is described as a long and painful death from a fried liver.
But with added codeine - I’m guessing the codeine shut down his breathing and that may have been a relatively quick suicide.

I actually tried to kill myself with Tylenol PM. I was 15 and washed it down with cooking sherry, I think. Ended up throwing up (which is good cause I wasn’t taken to ER). It seems odd for a 62 yr scientist to do it that way unless it was somehwat not planned, even if it had oxycontin (which does NOTHING for me too mild).
