Abstract

The article discusses the issue concerning the death of Alexander V. Litvinenko in London, England due to poisoning with a lethal radioactive isotope called polonium 210. Litvinenko was a former spy for the Russian government's security service, the KGB, whose death ignited lots of press coverage due to the alleged involvement of the government in his death. However, according to the author, significant questions surrounding the issue have not been covered in stories like how quickly polonium 210 could kill a person if ingested and other circumstances surrounding Litvinenko's death.
