I am sure the Brazil police saw plenty of people who died of OD. They did an autopsy and based on that they said they are 90% certain it's anthrax. They also must have done at least preliminary tests on the material in the suitcase.

I think on this story we are way past the rumor stage, it happened back on April 11, and we have statements by officials, and the ship IS quarantined up in Canada.

Perhaps, but it's a big old world and lots of funny, screwed-up things happen in it, including gross error on the part of coroners and pathologists. With the war in Iraq, it might have been easy to jump to conclusion about this fellow's death. I just think if this had been confirmed we'd be on high alert by now.
