A month later, he was back at the store, with his wife and teenager
daughter by his side, to collect $425,000 in post-tax winnings.
At the time, he said he planned to use the money to grow his dry-cleaning business, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The next day, he was found dead. Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina said the death was ruled from
natural causes -- hardening of the arteries -- after a limited exam
initially found no trauma nor unusual substances in his blood.
Then Cina got a call from a relative asking for a deeper investigation.
The caller said, "There may be more to it than a natural death, and they
asked us to look into it further," Cina said, refusing to provide more
details, according to the Tribune.
A full toxicology test revealed Khan had ingested a deadly amount of cyanide. |
Now, I didn't go to medical school, but I'm a fairly logical individual. So if someone I knew told me that a person died the day after collecting almost half a mill in lottery money, with no visible bullet holes or stab wounds, and that his death had been ruled natural causes, my 1st question would probably be, "Did they do a full toxicology test?" So how/why then, did it not occur to the medical examiner that foul play was possible?

Not at all--go buy your uncharted desert island, make sure your security is tight there, then contemplate inviting him over if he act right.
That's how you do it.

I've also come to the conclusion that I think I need to write out a specialized will just in case I ever win the lotto so if I just so happen to die before I can enjoy my winnings my money goes to a specific person

If I remember correctly cyanide takes time, it gradually poisons the system. So either he was using something that had high concentrations of it over a long period of time or someone was slipping him some over a long period of time, I think it takes longer than a few days to shut down someone's system...i could be confusing this with formaldehyde tho

She should've used something untraceable. She stood to inherit all that money and didn't invest in a better poison?
