Seriously! A few years in white collar prison probably would’ve been a nice vacation for him.

It was later found to be Cyanide...

How Cyanide Kills.

Cyanide works by interfering with the subtle chemical mechanism of our cells. In order to survive, our cells need energy, and they get this energy, in part, from the sugars in the foods we eat. In a chemical reaction known as “respiration,” our cells use oxygen molecules from the air we breath to free up energy from sugar.

Cyanide molecules act like a monkey wrench in a cell’s mechanism of respiration. Cyanide looks like oxygen to the parts of the cell responsible for respiration. In fact, if there are both oxygen molecules and cyanide molecules present in the bloodstream, our cells will grab onto the cyanide molecules first, and try to use these, instead of oxygen, to get energy out of sugar. However the cyanide won’t work that way, and will only gum up the cell’s energy delivery system. It’s a little like trying to run a car on peanut butter instead of gasoline, the peanut butter only clogs the car’s fuel system.

With its respiration mechanism gummed up, the cell will eventually die.

This is the FULL video.

I can attest to that, I was unable to start my car despite I had a full tank of peanut butter.

This should be held up as an example that suicide by cyanide is NOT quick and painless, as so many people seem to think it is.

He would have been out by now for sure. Dumb idea

Weird thing. I knew the girl who was dating this guy back then, or maybe just before this happened.

But to be honest, I would've done the same.

Life insurance doesn't pay out for suicide.
