Yeah, I wonder how that diagnosis was made.

And I'm not trying to be a jerk by saying that, but I'm just wondering.

Because here's the thing.

You know how I mentioned poison?

If you've got someone that's already debilitated with cancer, think how easy it would be to push them over the edge with thallium.

And you would just look at this death and say, oh, yeah, well, she had cancer and she succumbed.

And guess what would not have been done?

An autopsy at that particular time.

They would have said, OK, she had the big C. She's gone on to her reward and they they would bury her.

Hopefully they didn't cremate her.

But if you could go back and collect samples, you know, that that was one of the things like I think it was.

I know I'll get this wrong, but bear with me.

They had samples of Napoleon's hair and they thought that he had been poisoned.

I don't know if it was mercury or lead, and they were checking those hair samples for him because you can actually find elements.

It's not like that's naturally occurring, that it would be in the hair.

Hair is generally where they're going to go for this to see if they can source it out at that particular time.

The only problem is, is that that's kind of a qualifying finding.

It's not a quantitative finding.

So I don't know that you could ever get to the point where you would say, okay, this was a lethal dose.

But even more so, thallium, I mean, you can't find it anymore.
