2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Accepted into the archive.
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

A freshman Sergey Kulikov from Yekaterinburg (Rissia) died after consuming potassium cyanide right during the lecture. He tried to prove his immortality to his comrades. They say that Sergey licked some white powder off his hand. Right after that he felt deadly sick and asked his comrades to fetch him some water. But instead of just drinking he dissolved the rest of the powder in the water and consumed the solution. He died in a hospital without regaining consciousness.

Sergey tried to invent the potion of immortality. He was sure that consuming small quantities of poisons every day would protect him from death. He found many ways to get controlled substances and experimented with them.

Sergey consumed small quantities of potassium cyanide several times before. Every time he did, proper medical help saved his life.

Student Poisoned in an Attempt to Prove His Immortality

Sergei Kulikov first-dead straight for the desk during a lecture on the biology, posporiv with comrades that the potassium cyanide, and will remain alive. Odnogruppniki eye, and had no time to watch, as 18 year-old boy sliznul palms with a white powder and got into convulsions.

Serezhu from school interested deadly poisons. On cronyism student tedna mushrooms poisons, arsenic, cyanide and potassium to night games with them the experience.

The son said that using poisons can create a recipe for eternal youth - said Father Sergei Alexander. He repeated all the time that the deadly poison helps him find the key to immortality.

Experiments Yekaterinburg alchemist put on yourself.

Serguei has been a very good man - remembers his fellow. It is not something that the mice could not hold the experience, and the cockroach he could not cause harm! Therefore, always said, which will carry out experiments on themselves.

Potion

Serezha, while still very small, once went to his old grandmother, and said: I want you always been young and lived forever! Grow Here - establish for you elixir of immortality!

The school has become a favourite subject Serezhi chemistry. Over the experience guy spent days and nights. After leaving the school with a gold medal, he easily entered immediately into two university: in the Medical Academy and the Faculty of Biology Ural State University.

Serega wanted to become a doctor is not easy, but scientists - friends say Kulikov. That's why he chose biofake, said, where he will study human anatomy and chemistry, and so he knew from God ...

Litigation

Before the tragedy, Comrade Sergei argued that if the poison to take each day in small quantities and gradually increasing dose, the person becomes immortal.

Quarrel, potassium cyanide, I shall not die? suggested Serguei. I have long drink poison, and my body today, nothing can kill.

The children did not believe a friend and then forgot about ridiculous dispute. The next day, the young man suddenly in the midst of a lecture called comrades showed them nasypannym palm with a white substance on it with a smile and with hands sliznul powder. Serezha immediately became ill, and after a few minutes, he slipped into coma. By the arrival of ambulance student no longer breathing.

Son tried to find a magic medicine to people - said the victim was the father of grief. He was a gifted chemist and killed the sake of science ...

Ural student drank poison during lectures According to the version of Friends, first-graduates decided to experiment on himself

Semen CHIRKOV 10.12.2007

The victim Sergei Kulikov this summer entered the Urals State University Gorky. Studied not bad, not good for lectures tried, in general, a normal student.

Unexpected death directly in the classroom among classmates!

Fourth December first year student of biological faculty became ill "They called an ambulance." He was taken to hospital, but to save the young man was unable - stated head of the department of labour protection USU Victor Shipov. - University jointly with the Prosecutor's Office is investigating.

The first version, which emerged from the many - the student tried suicide, and succeeded. Probably exactly the same thought and doctors, bringing the dying in a mental hospital.

What poisoned student, is not yet clear.
Causes of death can be called after the histological examination. After 10 days, it is decided to institute criminal proceedings, - reported in the Oktyabrsky district prosecutor's office.

While workers are waiting for a supervisory body the results of the study, students already did discuss that Sergei adopted dose of potassium cyanide during a lecture And again pops up version of suicide.

Serguei not kill themselves, I know his second year, we studied together - confident student graduates Darya Rosyaeva. - It is painful to hear talk of suicide, some unhappy love there, gossip that he had taken some unknown substance sake of the dispute All of this nonsense!

I Darya put forward its version, even more unusual:

It was an accident
Sergei took cyanide, but not to die. He experimented with the possibilities of his body, checking the effect of poison. He was very clever, but not calculated its forcesetermine whether the boy could razdobyt deadly potions on the faculty.

A fellow students Sergei Kulikov not find seats. Many do not understand why he did it, but the version of suicide categorically reject. On the Internet, they created a page to his memory, which placed the photos, which showed how happy he was with life, as with pleasure participated in the dedication of the students.

And it is clear that no foul Sergei Bush "zatyukannym botanom"; love turmoil also avoided it All as everyone: lectures, crowd, and in front - a few years of study at the Faculty favorite And then such...

I have heard of fools like this before who thought that taking small quanitities of a deadly poison on a regular basis would somehow train their bodies to tolerate the substance. Who knows, maybe that could work for some substances. But potassium cyanide is definitely not one of them. Incidentally, the translated news story mentions (and then discounts) the possibility that the death was a suicide. Thanks for the submission.

Well, young Sergei certainly proved that potassium cyanide certainly isn't one of the ingredients of immortality punch! And while suicide is a possibility, it certainly doesn't follow the usual pattern! Personally, I think he was delusional rather than suicidal! I'll vote DA!
