DETECTIVES were last night trying to unravel the circumstances in which a leading university research scientist was found dead at his blood-spattered and apparently ransacked home.
The body of Ian Langford, 40, a senior Fellow at the University of East Anglias Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, was discovered on Monday night by police and ambulancemen. The body was naked from the waist down and partly wedged under a chair. It is understood that doors to the terraced house were locked.
A post-mortem examination failed to establish how Dr Langford, who lived alone in the house in Norwich, died.
Dr Langford began working at the university in 1993 after gaining his PhD in childhood leukaemia and infection following a first-class honours degree in environmental sciences. He worked most recently as a senior researcher assessing risk to the environment.
Professor Kerry Turner, director of the centre, said: We are all very shocked by this appalling news. Ian was without doubt one of Europes leading experts on environmental risk, specialising in links between human health and environmental risk. He was known for his work on the effects on health of bathing water and air pollution, for example. He was one of the most brilliant colleagues I have ever had.
I think you mean well, but it is tinfoil.
That was the Ukrainians that shot down that plane, but what does that have to do with this? sigh... why do I even bother?
of course it would be quite natural to be found dead, half-naked, under a chair, with wounds on your body if you had been murdered
Not only is there is no evidence that he is an environmentalist
Dr Ian Langford is a Senior Research Associate in CSERGE, specialising in statistical methods applied to environmental and health-related issues. He has a wide range of research interests applying statistics to a number of problems, particularly climate change and health, economic valuation of the environment, and risk perception, particularly of environmental risks to health. He also works on statistical theory and methodology, and is developing analytical tools for spatial analysis in conjunction with Prof. Harvey Goldstein, of the Institute of Education in London, with occasional workshops being held on multilevel modelling. Information on this work and the workshops can be found on the Multilevel Models web site: multilevel modelling
unless you believe that there is no room for serious study of the environment without being a radical greenie, to want someone dead because of their political views is disgusting. Imagine if GWB was assasinated and someone wrote "the world is better off without him", you would be spitting chips in your urge to maul him.

So, if you wanted to introduce some biologic or chemical hazard, you might want to know how much to release where and what areas might be affected, huh?

A Moscow band hunting for heads. For scientists' heads. "Recently, the head of microbiology sub-faculty of Russian State Medical University (former Second Moscow Medical Institute), V. Korshunov was killed. The body of the killed professor with cranial injury was found on Friday, ..."
Question: Are Drs Robert M. Schwartz and David Schwartz related?
I wouldn't be surprised if this data is what is used to justify homosexual tolerance seminars and classes in our country's schools beginning in kindergarten. The gays are always going on and on about the high rate of gay teenage suicide, insinuating that they kill themselves because of intolerance and cruel teasing at our country's schools.
Wasn't his daughter, a student at James Madison University in Virginia, recently charged in his death?
