On: The cyanide tooth is a cold war fairy-tale (2018)

[WheelsAtLarge]

Slobodan Praljak killed himself in court after he was found guilty of war crimes using Cyanide. I've always wondered if he did it via a Cyanide Tooth.

There is video of him drinking a small bottle of poison when he heard the verdict

Correlation ≠ causation ;-)

Nitpick: the video shows him drinking a small bottle of liquid.

https://web.archive.org/web/20171203203439/https://www.om.nl... says he had potassium cyanide in his blood, but doesn’t go as far as saying that’s what killed him.

https://web.archive.org/web/20171201031537/http://time.com/5... says the container contained a deadly chemical, but doesn’t say it was potassium cyanide.

The UN only looked at whether the court should have prevented this from happening and concluded that, within the rules, it couldn’t and, hence shouldn’t (https://www.icty.org/en/press/statement-on-the-independent-r...)

I couldn’t find the final reports of the Dutch Justice department.

That gives plenty of room for conspiracy theories.

I was about to ask what possible conspiracy theory could people come up with to doubt the story of: Guilty verdict, drink liquid from small bottle, die of poison...

But then I remembered that conspiracy theorists are often inspired by a muse that other people don't have access to. So best to just shake my head and find something else to read :-)
