Litvinenko Post-Mortem: “The Most Dangerous Ever Undertaken in the Western World”
January 28th, 2015Via: BBC:
The post-mortem examination of poisoned Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko was probably “the most dangerous ever undertaken in the Western world”, a pathologist has said.
Dr Nathaniel Cary told the inquiry into Mr Litvinenko’s death that his body was “very hazardous” and had to be transferred to a secure site for tests.
Mr Litvinenko died from radiation poisoning in a London hospital in 2006.
His death came nearly three weeks after he drank tea laced with polonium.
The former KGB agent had fled to the UK where he became a vocal critic of the Kremlin and worked for the UK intelligence service MI6.
