The Smell of Cyanide

Paglalarawan

On a summer day in 1986, a medical examiner and her assistant stared down at a deceased woman lying on the metal table. Neither of them had ever seen anything like this, the woman appeared to have been completely healthy at the time of her death - she didn't have a stroke, there was no heart attack and there was no sign of a drug overdose. However, this seemingly healthy woman had suddenly collapsed on the floor and been brain dead just minutes later. Just then the assistant took a long deep breath in through her nose, and after she did she looked over at the medical examiner with wide eyes. The medical examiner did the same thing and took a long deep breath in through her nose. They both smelled a very strange odor, and it smelled almost like almonds. The medical examiner could hardly believe it, she'd only heard about something like this happening in movies and detective novels. But that smell meant one thing to her and to the assistant, this deceased woman must have been poisoned with cyanide. And this theory would soon lead to a large scale investigation by local police and the FBI, and what they would find would casue panic across the entire United States. 🎧 Follow and listen to ALL of our podcasts from Ballen Studios - find them on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts! 🔊 A Twist of History 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/atwistofhistory - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark and Mysterious Stories 👉 https://Wondery.fm/MBP - New episodes every Monday 🔊 MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries 👉 https://wondery.com/links/mrballens-medical-mysteries/?ol=am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Redacted: Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana 👉 https://wondery.com/links/redacted/?ol=wnd~spot~ap~am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Wartime Stories Podcast 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/Fz9J66 - New episodes every Monday 🔊 Bedtime Stories 👉 http://apple.co/ballenbedtimestories - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 RUN, FOOL! 👉 https://smarturl.it/RunFool 🔊 Late Nights with Nexpo 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/lateni
