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 Anglia’s 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 Europe’s 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.”
the Clinton body count connects all the deaths to involvement with him. They were his body guards, friends, campaign help, interns, political payoffs and favors...etc.
There's no connection to these deaths and Bush.
That's pretty bad logic you have there.
Has anyone here ever noticed that liberals are some of the dumbest people? They have nothing in their heads but dust.
I have a hard time understanding really stupid people. How do they know to get up in the morning?
We had never heard of that peculiar sexual trend. One can learn something new every day. Sad that so much new is perverse as well.
Are we suppose to believe now that "everyone does it?"
Is this the new politically correct way to die "because if it feels good, do it?"
All these deaths sound a little strange. If this guy died from hanging, how did he crawl under a chair?
If you deny that, you're lying to yourself and everyone else. What you think about the relative worth of my posting compared to my other posts is irrelevant to the situation at hand.
UNEXPLAINED RASH ILLNESS - USA (MULTISTATE) *************************************** A ProMED-mail post ProMED-mail is a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases [see also: 2001 ------- Unexplained rash, schoolchildren - USA (Virginia) 20011203.2940 1999 ------- Plasma product recall, parvovirus B19 contaminant 19990417.0640 Plasma product recall, parvovirus B19 contaminant(02) 19990518.0806 Erythema infectiosum - Brazil (Rio de Janeiro): RFI 19990928.1734 1998 ------- Parvovirus & pregnancy, increased risk - Netherlands 19980814.1616 Parvovirus - China (Hong Kong) 19980904.1771] Date: 15 Feb. 2002 5:09 p.m. ET From: ProMED-mail Source: NY Times 15 Feb. 2002 [edited] Strange Rash Baffles Medical Sleuths ----------------------------------------- Hundreds of youngsters in at least 7 states have broken out in a mysterious rash, and some health investigators suspect it might be caused by a new or yet-to-be-identified virus. The red, itchy rash appears to be more an annoyance than a serious health threat, but it has managed to temporarily close schools, worry parents and frustrate school administrators, for whom answers have been elusive. Students in Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Oregon and Washington state have complained about rashes on the face, arms, legs and body. For the most part, the rash goes away when the students leave school. "For something like this to occur almost simultaneously in different parts of the country is, to my knowledge, unprecedented,'' said Dr. Norman Sykes, who examined about 30 suburban Philadelphia students who came down with the rash this month. In the Quakertown Community School District, where nearly 170 students at all 9 schools were confirmed to have the rash, an environmental company collected air and water samples and examined carpets, floor mats, vacuum bags and clothing, but all tested negative for contaminants. "We may never know what this thing is,'' said Quakertown Superintendent Jim Scanlon. Most school systems have ruled out an environmental cause, but not the Peninsula School District in Gig Harbor, Wash., where more than 50 students and teachers complained about a rash. Test results showed an abnormally high level of dust, dandruff and skin particles -- probably caused by an overactive ventilation system that took too much moisture out of the air. "People are very concerned about their children,'' said Peninsula Superintendent Jim Coolican. ``We say its not a long-term problem, but people say, 'How do you know? How do you know it won't be a problem for my child 10 years from now?'" Sykes, a dermatologist and professor at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, suspects the culprit in Quakertown is either a mutation of the childhood illness known as fifth disease or a virus not yet known to science. Fifth disease, so-called because it was once considered one of the 5 main childhood illnesses, produces a low fever and cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash that creates a "slapped cheek'' appearance and a lacy red rash on the trunk, arms and legs. Though Sykes' patients had those same symptoms, a blood test turned up no evidence of the virus that causes the disease. Sykes then performed a more sophisticated test and found DNA evidence of fifth disease virus. But 9 other students tested negative for fifth disease. Scanlon, the Quakertown superintendent, believes some of the rashes might have been caused by "hysteria.'' And some rashes were not rashes at all -- high school students rubbed themselves with sandpaper in a futile attempt to get the school shut down, he said. "We sat there itching and then it got all red and bumpy and then it started stinging. I put a paper towel on it so it wouldn't burn that much,'' said [an] 8-year-old [girl], who went to the hospital on the first day of the Quakertown outbreak. -- ProMED-mail [Fifth disease is a mild rash illness caused by infection with human parvovirus B19 that occurs most commonly in children. As stated above, the ill child typically has a "slapped-cheek" rash on the face and a lacy red rash on the trunk and limbs. Occasionally, the rash may itch. An ill child may have a low-grade fever, malaise, or a "cold" a few days before the rash breaks out. The child is usually not very ill, and the rash resolves in 7-10 days. More information on the investigation of this outbreak would be appreciated, including any additional laboratory studies that have been conducted. - Mod.

The global warming horsesh!t continues to unravel...
And they never solved the deaths of Pasteur, Lister, Jenner, Fleming, and Salk, either.....
As far as I am concerned the death you referenced should not be passed off as a suicide without a thorough examination of the evidence. It is very suspicious on its face. While Clinton lovers repeatedly turned their backs and refused to even examine the improbability of so many prima facia cases staring at the Dixie Mafia's favorite son being innocence coincidence.
Dr. Don C. Wiley, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard University, was one of the most prominent microbiologists in the world.
He had won many of the field's most prestigious awards, including the 1995 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for work that could make anti-viral vaccines a reality.
He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing, and was last seen at around midnight on December 16, leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research Advisory Dinner at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication, and no one has admitted to drinking with him.
IMHO
The common denominators are:
1. anti-viral vaccines research AFTER VIRAL IDENTIFICATION!
2. The Children's Hospitals of the WORLD.
3. These Worldwide Children's Hospitals have both LABS/STORAGE and MAILING NETWORKS.
4. These Hospitals and THEIR affiliated labs/storage/delivery-systems have to be the "Golden Goose" of OPERATIONS for the ______________ networks!
5. PLUS,.....their access to human children provide them with 'unauthorized', private, 'special' and 'independent' research.
6. Common/Known labeling could have ADDED, 'special' numerical/alphabetical/symbolic identifiers. (??rashes??)
IMHO
