Dr. Vladimir Pasechnik, the head of the Soviet bioweapons program at the
Biopreparat facility, a world-class microbiologist and a high-profile Russian defector
to the UK in 1989, was found dead in Wiltshire, England, not far from his home.
He was in good health and died suddenly from a stroke. A nerve agent that mimics
a stroke and leaves no traces was believed to be the cause of the death.
Pasechnik's death began a string of mysterious deaths and obvious murders of world-class microbiologists.
Dr. Kelly's death was one of those. They were closely associated with the kind of
highly-specialised work Pasechnik was doing.
