How a Man Solved His Own Murder Before Dying

The incredible true story of Alexander Litvinenko who solved his own murder from his deathbed.
Litvinenko was rushed to the hospital after experiencing extreme vomiting and stomach pains, and his condition rapidly deteriorated. He insisted that he had been poisoned, and with a dogged determination to seek justice, he began piecing together the mysterious events that led to his sudden illness. Through several hours of incredibly detailed witness testimony, he recounted a lunch meeting with a friend and a business venture discussion with an old colleague from his home country. These vital puzzle pieces enabled investigators to solve his inevitable murder, which involved three men, a business meeting, and a poisoned teacup.

It wasn't the last time Russian agents were poisoning their targets in the UK. Later it was poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal with Novichok nerve agent in 2018. However it was caused by different two agents from a different agency (GRU), who were involved in other cases like blowing an ammunition depot in the Czech republic (2014 Vrbětice ammunition warehouses explosions). Also it's a sort of tradition in Russia. Similar thing happened to Trotsky, who ended up with an ice pick in his head (courtesy of his false friend with regards from Stalin), while living in exile in Mexico. Ironically Trotsky was supposed to be an extremist, so the party voted for Stalin to lead them instead. EDIT: Mistook Trotsky with Kalinin.

Good thing Po 210 has a half life of 138 days. Almost three half-lives a year, so approximately 1/8 is left after 13 months. PS, I have a record cleaner from the '60s that uses Po 210 to make the bristles attract dust.

Polonium 210 is also found in tobacco smoke . But sufficient amounts are produced in nuclear breeding reactors as a byproduct of uranium fission.

@Irish381 Жыл бұрын

@@Bibibosh most fission byproducts are captured by control rods, and would require a special equipment to extract them. Depends on what isotope of uranium or plutonium is used and what process is involved. But Polonium 211 would be an unstable isotope that would half life back into the closest stable element at a certain rate of decay.
