I was trying to find the old thread that talked about how the guy that stole $9million in software from Microsoft had mysteriously died. But alas, I didn't. Anyways, it looks like an autopsy reveals that he was poisoned!

No one is safe from Microsoft!

I have to go join a protection program now for posting this.

Yeah, there were no witnesses to say if he was murdered or if it was suicide.

For software theft? Please, at the most, he would have gone to a minimum security prison and spent his time playing tennis and golf.

It was a FEDERAL case! Being a software guy, he's probably seen 'Office Space' a few too many times and thought he was going to a 'Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison'.

 
What happens to your insides after drinking antifreeze ? I saw on one of those primetime shows like 20/20 that a guy tried to off himself by drinking cleaners and whatnot... his whole esophagus dissolved but he didn't die. It ended up that doctors pulled his intestines straight up to his throat area so he can eat and function as a normal person again. They showed how he eats... by manually pushing the food along the intestine with his fingers for about 15-30 minutes before needing to excrete...

Now that's some quick turnaround time!

If this person hasn't recomitted suicide; I think he's very close to doing so.

Jesus, that's just horrible.

i've seen several accounts that indicate this is only a myth

Damn, wouldn't a human have to drink quite a bit of antifreeze to die?

No, it actually only takes a relatively small amount. Also, antifreeze has a very pleasant sweet taste... similar to Kool-Aid supposedly. Many children and pets in the US die from drinking antifreeze every year because the US is the only major country that does not require that a bittering agent be added to antifreeze.

As for what happened here, all I can say is: No one screws the familia! 😉 😛


edit: link describing antifreeze's effects on pets
edit: Link to news article regarding current legislating attempts to require that bittering agents be added to antifreeze. Currently, only Oregon and California have such requirements.
