Researcher On Cusp Of COVID-19 Breakthrough Killed In Bizarre Murder-Suicide
A University of Pittsburgh researcher working on a coronavirus project was fatally shot on Saturday at his home in Ross Township, while associate Hao Gu, 46, was found dead in a car approximately 100 yards away of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot.
The researcher, 37-year-oild Bing Liu, was found shot multiple times in the head, neck and torso around Noon on Saturday. Nothing was stolen from the townhouse and there was no forced entry, according to the Post Gazette. He worked in the college's department of computational and systems biology at the Pitt School of Medicine.
"Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications," the department announced in a written statement, adding "We will make an effort to complete what he started in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence"...........

We might as well start a 'body count' of them. If you find other people doing so by all means link them here as we go.
Well!

A lot of us have been getting lazy lately, and that apparently includes Vladimir Putin. In the before times, if he wanted to get rid of an enemy, he'd go full Bond villain with a poisoned plutonium dart or something. Now, he's just throwing folks off buildings like a straight-to-streaming mobster.
Okay, there's a chance neither he nor his lackeys are behind the deaths of three doctors in just over a week, all of whom were treating COVID-19 patients with various lack of disgruntlement and all of whom mysteriously fell out of windows. For legal reasons, we have to point out the non-zero possibility that there's a suicide epidemic among frontline workers who made themselves a problem to the Russian government. Sure, the ol' "fell off the roof" gag is a well-worn trick of the Russian admobistration, but even that scandal -- in which witnesses to a Putin-connected money-laundering scheme coincidentally met grisly ends -- also involved prison-beatings-for- hire and poisons that mimic heart attacks. No one would be so brazen as to just keep pushing people out of windows and insist it was these dang slippery floors, right? Right?
Once, maybe. Colleagues have speculated that the first victim may have killed herself after her superiors scolded her for potentially infecting others with the coronavirus. That sounds plausible enough, but as the week wore on, it also sounded like a good reason to get rid of someone. The next day, another doctor "fell" out of her fifth-floor office window. This one had no apparent suicidal ideation, but she had just finished a heated conference call with the regional health. She had also complained to her superiors about unsafe working conditions at her hospital. A few days later, after two medical professionals made a video complaining about working conditions and uploaded it to the Internet, one of them also fell victim to the strong winds known to blow through hospital corridors.....
