Very suspicious for a 34-year old to suddenly die like this. She was found on the floor in her bathroom, covered in vomit. Could she have been poisoned?

that is what i meant....even if it is a normal death, the circumstances in which she was found dead are highly suspicious. that she was an international makes it worse. but why would our agencies poison her ... normally if you dont like someone's activities you ask them to leave the country.
Re: Reuters’ Pak-Afghan bureau chief found dead in Islamabad
The plot thickens. Two out of three forensic analysts who examined her body say that there are bruises on her hands and feet suggesting a struggle immediately before death; and that there are possible signs of strangulation with a rope on her neck. They say that further laboratory analysis is needed.
The official on the record statement from PIMS confirms bruising on feet but refuses to speculate on causes and refuses to comment about marks on her neck.

Not to jump the gun but the line of investigation will eventually follow the track of our agencies.. And this is Reuters so the matter wont be washed away that easily (I really hope)
Re: Reuters' Pak-Afghan bureau chief found dead in Islamabad
RIP.
Dawn news did not say bruise mark. I hope, it would physical death.
Re: Reuters' Pak-Afghan bureau chief found dead in Islamabad
Really sad news. Not good for Pakistan. Especially for something like this to happen in the heart of the capital.
Re: Reuters’ Pak-Afghan bureau chief found dead in Islamabad
The autopsy report is out. But DUH, it’d be a lack of oxygen to let her die.. It totally resembles the modus ope***** normally we read about agencies’ way of executing. And since its Islamabad we know it can be either Pakistani OR russian, afghani, CIA or wutever

ISLAMABAD: Maria Golovnina, the Pakistan and Afghanistan bureau chief of Reuters based in Islamabad who was found dead on February 23, died due to a shortage of oxygen, DawnNews reported.
A postmortem report by Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), revealed that the journalist had marks on her neck when her body was found. The report has been forwarded to the police for further investigation.
Pims spokesman Waseem Khawaja said that samples of Golovnina’s brain, heart and neck have been sent to a forensic laboratory for a complete report on the cause of death.
The Reuters journalist was found dead at her office in the capital’s F-8 sector on Monday. She was reportedly lying on the floor covered in vomit.
A Reuters’ statement said she fell unconscious in her office and was rushed to a private hospital. But “medical teams were unable to save” the Russian national journalist.
However, capital police, quoting her colleagues, said that alarmed at her long disappearance from her seat, the colleagues went looking for her and found her lying in a washroom of the office.

The bureau chief was rushed to Pims where she was pronounced dead.
Doctors at Pims told Dawn that Maria had passed away before she could be brought to the hospital.
Golovnina had been working as the Reuters bureau chief for Pakistan and Afghanistan for the past year and a half.
She joined Reuters in Tokyo in 2001 and subsequently worked in postings around the world including London, Singapore, Moscow, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Right so someone walked into the Reuters office, went to the bathroom strangled the person, locked the door on the way out (from the inside) and then left without being detected. Seriously?
