About two weeks after he went missing, police announced an NIH scientist has been found dead in his car.
Martin John Rogers, 54, left his Gaithersburg home around 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 21 to go to work. As he was leaving, he told his wife of 25 years that he was going to a meeting -- but his co-workers said he never showed up to work that morning./SNIP/
Martin Rogers had worked at the National Institutes of Health for 15 years and specialized in tropical diseases.

there was much more of this about 2 years ago a suspicious series of unexplained death of gummint biochemists.

It took 2 weeks to report this or 2 weeks to find the body (seems doubtful)

Old and unreleated, but the Bruce Ivins story bears repeating. Anthrax researcher committed suicide. Most people think there was a lot more to the story.

Taking his work home with and in him?
Hmmmmm
I wonder if any of the previous rash of “anthrax researcher” deaths were due to them also working on hemorrhagic virii and other candy goodness.
His specialty was "Tropical deseases"... like Ebola.
I have added the Ebola crisis to a file on murder and related coverups...

Yes, the “tropical diseases” certainly is a giant red flashing light on ebola.
Spelling alert: for Dearksheare:
The plural of “virus” is definitely NOT “virii.”
The best choice for correctness and clarity is to use the coined English plural, “viruses.”
Here is a case where trying to create a plural that sounds Latin, when one does not know Latin or not well enough leads to out and out errors.
There is no attested plural form of the Latin work “virus.’ For the Romans, the word “virus” had a collective idea right in the singular. Linguists and students of Latin have concluded that the word “virus” was a second declension singular neuter noun. If such a noun had a plural it would be “vira.”
There is no way the plural could be “virii.” For that to be the case, the singular would have had to be “virius” and the word would have been second declension masculine.
Much discussion can be found on the Web about this topic.
Conclusion: In this unusual case of trying to be erudite by showing you know the word is Latin - Don’t! Rather, stick with the established correct English form for the plural and that form is “viruses.” The alternative is to start on a steep uphill trek of trying to change current vernacular usage and replace “viruses” with the unattested, but grammatically correct Latin plural, “vira.”

Spelling alert: for Seeing More Clearly Now: If you're going to upbraid a fellow FReeper for his spelling, you may want to spell his name correctly.
Seriously?
That’s your only response to that?
To go on a drawn out post about..typing.
It’s just an idiot looking to pick a fight, not discuss what was said.
Expect another looooooooooong drawn out off topic post by them, soon.
The report I heard on CBS DC said that his body had been found NEAR his car, which had been found earlier. Their report said that police didn’t consider this a suspicious death at this time.

I thought that was 13 years ago after the 911 attacks.
“Half is here, half over there. What do you make of it, detective?”
“Depression, obviously!”
“He was so depressed that he..bisected himself?”
“Very depressed, yes.”
I suspect that even if foul play could be proven through wounds or chemical analysis, we won’t hear about it or reports of it will be “officially discredited” for awhile.
Actually, the correct spelling of the objective case of Darksheare in English actually is "Dirkshire." The form "Dearksheare" was common in England immediately after the Saxon invasion. [The Angevin's particularly favored it.] The Welsh, quite naturally, preferred the objective form "Dwyrrickshwyrrah." Following their custom, the Scots had no written form of the word, and chose instead to utter a series of guttural clicks and "ochs" when the objective form was required.
Over the last nine centuries, this has universally converged throughout the UK to the "Dirkshire" we all use today. The American usage "Dearksheare" became popular temporarily after the Revolution, when it became fashionable to prefer spelling which "seemed French" as a nod to the new American ally, and a further break with the past. But it is not a proper form.
As you probably know, there is an intense scholarly debate over this topic on the Internet. Warning: contains the lively but obtuse circumlocutions often used by intellectuals and pedants.
And don’t forget the clone copies of me that escaped from that lab.
They seek the original.
