They seem to have taken a page from Death Note

He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.
Looks like Boeing is just taking a page right out of Russians books and doing obvious murders in the open now.

I wonder if Boeing uses Novichok as well.

Have the obvious suspects been arrested? Eh, I mean, like a few hundreds people on central roles in a very big company. No.

Been arrested for giving him pneumonia? Or…?

He died from a MRSA infection, which can and does kill people at any stage of life. That shit is everywhere, but whether you get sick or not is kinda a crap shoot.

MRSA is not that common. Most people get it from contact in medical facilities, but some people (very few) do carry it around.
When someone contracts it and becomes seriously ill, it usually means they weren’t a carrier to begin with, or had an immunodeficiency that allowed the pathogen to overtake an equilibrium with their immune system. They do hardcore contact tracing if someone actually dies from it, and if nobody around this guy had it…quite suspicious. That’s all I’m saying.

He was sick in hospital with pneumonia, before he got MRSA though. In hospital ls there’s a higher chance to catch MRSA, especially if someone is already weakened by a severe lung infection.

Absolutely, my toddler had MRSA within a few days after he was born and its most likely due to some contamination or something to the effect.
Hospitals are a severe breeding grounds for resistant bacterial strains via sewage.

It’s not a crap shoot if it’s intentionally used as a weapon.

I’d like one example where MRSA has been used for bioterrorism. Never heard of it when I was a medical lab tech in the military, nor as a medical lab scientist later in my life. Bioterrorism is extremely rare.
E. coli O157:H7 would be a better choice, or Vibrio, or really any of the enteric pathogens introduced to food or water supplies. MRSA isn’t a great example of a good bacterial to weapons.

Well, the 1984 bioterror attack associated with the Rajneeshee was done with salmonella. The question this raises is if there are any advantages to cultivating it as an assassin’s weapon.
I’m not saying I know it is, only that the two associated deaths make for a pretty amazing coincidence.
