Cyanide... part 2

Check this Chicago Tribune article  out.  Cyanide once again rears its ugly head.  Suicide, murder or something else?  He was heard screaming, taken to the hospital, and declared dead.  In a high enough dose cyanide works quickly.  Remember, it is the dose that makes the poison.  Maybe he screamed over the taste.  Or maybe he screamed over the pain.  But his heart and brain would quickly cease to function.  And he was declared dead.  No real chance of saving him if the dose was high enough.  That is especially true if there is no suspicion of cyanide intoxication. 

Win the lottery and be set for life.  In this case that proved to be true.  It was just that life as a wealthy lottery winner was very brief.
