Consider that an invitation to dig in

Time for a lab tech to tweet some pics.

4. Last I heard his samples were send for testing.

What did toxicology find?
If his death was "natural causes" seem like there would be no reason to try to hide the cause.

6. Leaks on the findings should follow soon.......

More government by chaos

7. AND they didn't hide the cause of another Russian embassy employee who died in the fall.

They didn't pretend that diplomatic immunity prevented the release of the information then. So why now?

10. Good point. nt

[Ilsa]

8. Why would NYC care to honor this request?

It's not like the media has access to out State Dept or diplomats for questions any more. Will there be consequences for them not keeping cause of death a secret?

9. Was this the head injury?

Or was that one of the others?

11. No, his heart stopped.

The diplomat suffered from cardiac arrest while at the Russian Mission on East 67th Street, a law enforcement official said. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where he died.

I read that there have been at least 7 mysterious deaths of Russians recently. All that happens when trump tries to keep a secret is make things look worse and encourages somebody to dig for information. trump likes the drama, but I have mixed feelings. Hoping this isn't dram, hoping the guy wasn't murdered.

18. We'll never know why his heart stopped, Tillerson made sure of that. nt

[Volaris]

16. Heart failure lol

poison has a way of doing that.

13. All this should make a good movie someday

17. even the milquetoast blandomatic brian williams has that one figured out:

the other night he said nobody peddling a script in hollywoodland could get a story like this one published because it's too outlandish.

here, in response to my idea wrt a fictionalized account:

14. So who's answering the phone at the State Department?
