The radiation expert who discovered the poison that killed Alexander Litvinenko "committed suicide" by stabbing himself repeatedly with two knives months after a trip to Russia, a coroner ruled.

Matthew Puncher, 46, bled to death at his home after receiving multiple stab wounds across his body from two kitchen knives, an inquest heard.

A pathologist said he could not completely exclude the possibility that someone else had been involved in the death of the father, but came to the conclusion that the injuries were self-inflicted.

The father-of-two reportedly died from self-inflicted injuries, despite one detective believing he couldn't have stayed conscious long enough to wound himself that much

First ever suicide by two knives and multiple wounds.

Seriously....Putin....put your dogs on Soros already.

. . . and then he fell down an elevator shaft . . . onto some bullets.

Is polonium that rare?

I guess this is like someone committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back 15 times, pausing twice to reload.

[EvilCapitalist]

Is this the Russian version of Arkancide?

He was last observed around midnight at a Walmart Black Friday event.

Yes. Very.

Is polonium that rare?

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium#Occurrence_and_production

Polonium is a very rare element in nature because of the short half-life of all its isotopes. 210Po, 214Po, and 218Po appear in the decay chain of 238U; thus polonium can be found in uranium ores at about 0.1 mg per metric ton (1 part in 1010),[39][40] which is approximately 0.2% of the abundance of radium.

Because it is present in such small concentrations, isolation of polonium from natural sources is a very tedious process. The largest batch of the element ever extracted, performed in the first half of the 20th century, contained only 40 Ci (1.5 TBq) (9 mg) of polonium-210 and was obtained by processing 37 tonnes of residues from radium production.[44] Polonium is now obtained by irradiating bismuth with high-energy neutrons or protons.[15][45]

Arkancide spreads over the world.

You've gotta admire the pluck of those who commit suicide by repeatedly stabbing themselves in the belly/chest and those who shoot themselves in the back of the head...more than once.

and up three flights of stairs 4 times.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Maybe he was ambidextrous? Or the first knife wasn't getting the job done?

[ptsal]

This could have happened in Arkansas or DC. There must be a syndrome linked to the loss of power or global warning.

[calenel]

Did he have something on the Clintons?

[Roger Kaputnik]

“He stabbed himself in the back 10 times and then threw himself off the Brooklyn Bridge.”

Now if Hillary would have won the election this event would have been even more intriguing.

[dayglored]

Surely this is satire. /s

This guy is related to Vince Foster.

Putincide?
