Edit: The admins have told me if I don’t say this was an accident then they will remove the post.

It’s is verifiably an accident. It is also extremely convenient for the people she threatened.

    not that I don’t believe the Russians aren’t capable of it, but my uncle died of “sudden adult death syndrome”

    just one day fell down and died, no cause determined. As far as anyone can tell wasn’t even a heart attack or an aneurysm (sp?).

      My ex-spouse’s step-mother died from an acute case of not being alive anymore. She was in physically good health, good heart/blood pressure, mentally sharp, was a distance swimmer, ran, smoked occasionally (like 1-2 cigarettes a day), and was in her mid-60s. She collapsed in a supermarket and was dead before any help could arrive. The autopsy couldn’t find any cause of death; no ruptured aneurysm, no stroke, no heart attack or heart issues at all, no drug interactions, nothing. She just… stopped being alive.

      Shit happens sometimes, and there’s not always an obvious cause.

      But that’s usually a sudden cardiac arrhythmia. again I’m just saying that citing a very rare cause of death does not eliminate suspicion of foul play from a medical perspective, it amplifies it.

        If anything, being able to explain it away by saying there are other valid options like “usually cardiac arrhythmia” is only weakening your point. It does not strengthen the idea that it must be one particular thing, like SUDEP, but it sure as shit doesn’t help the idea that she was assassinated. You could even be correct but it would be purely luck if this is how the conclusion is arrived at.

        Also rare is not a non-zero chance. Even the smallest percentage is made up of real people.

          My only point is that a nonchalant “oh it was just seizures” statement raises a lot more questions than it eliminates. At least from an MD’s perspective.

            Then your point was incredibly poorly made. The only questions I can see it raising are about what could it be besides a purposeful murder and, if we’re feeling crazy, about the intentions of the poster. Thinking that everyone who doesn’t agree with us outright is a likely government plant is stupid, though, so I hope anyone with an MD perspective wouldn’t be too hot for that idea.

              I’m not interested in conspiracy theories and I’ve been ignoring these threads for that very reason, but again the “oh just seizures” take did raise my eyebrows. We don’t have enough information to make any judgment.
