$1 million lottery winner poisoned by cyanide


Lottery winner, Urooj Khan, 46, won $1 million off a scratch lottery ticket he bought at a 7-11 in Chicago last June, but just one day after receiving his check for $425,000, which represented the after tax amount on the lump sum payout on his winning ticket, he died. The check wasn’t cashed until Aug. 15, likely by a member of his estate.
After a limited exam, Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina found no trauma or unusual substances in the 46-year-old's body, and the medical examiner's office declared that he died of natural causes. Khan was buried at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, but within a week a concerned relative asked the medical examiner's office to take a closer look. Now, his death has been ruled a homicide, as toxicology reports showed deadly cyanide in his system.
Money they always say is the root of all evil...
