I remember hearing about the Pakistani who died in jail not long after the anthrax outbreaks started, they did mention that they were treating him for bleeding gums, so at least part of this story is accurate.

Did they rule out one of the hemorragic viral fevers like CCHF or Ebola, Marburg, or the like? he could have been sent infected to infect more people. Bleeding gums, vomiting blood, and other pleasant symptoms of hemorragic fevers could look like high-dose radiation sickness.
