London’s Metropolitan Police said 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess died Sunday in a hospital in Salisbury.

Sturgess had been hospitalized after falling ill on June 30 along with 45-year-old Charlie Rowley.

Police say they were exposed to Novichok, the same type of nerve agent used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury In March.

Police suspect they were exposed through a contaminated item left over from the first attack, which Britain blames on Russia. Russia has denied the allegation.

2. Fucking Russian bastards.

I hate Putin with a white hot passion equal to that of Trump.

3. Will GOP Senators send a delegation to the funeral?

[groundloop]

9. NO, just Thoughts and Prayers.

That's all we can expect from those morally bankrupt bastards.

[bronxiteforever]

10. Agree.

4. Will Jeremy Corbyn still defend Russia?

5. I am so sorry.

6. A deadly Russian nerve gas attack on a US NATO Ally that he will visit this month

And what is Cheeto's response?

Kiss.

Putin's.

Ass.

[bronxiteforever]

7. You know what? Putin's fine. He's fine. We're all fine. We're people.

Cheeto said this last week. You are right!!

[marble falls]

8. If this is from the original attack, this stuff is horrific.

[jpak]

11. It's a persistent nerve agent - like VX

If used in a large scale attack - it could render the area inhabitable for months - if not years.

Makes you wonder how much of this stuff Putin has....and why....

12. It's the kind of thing NATO would show a united front, at one time

PTT that is, prior-to-Trump

This is KGB level stuff, they have been privatized and are still playing the game of political hegemony.

Unfortunately Trump is playing the game of Life in the Leave it to Beaver era

We have surrendered

13. And the source still hasnt been found has it? This could happen again.

Maybe dumped from the earlier attack

14. How long til fuck face says that the people who poisoned her are very fine people?

And that the woman had it coming?

15. Novichok

новичок
Google translation: beginner, novice, newcomer, rookie, recruit, neophyte

Don't know if any other Slavic languages besides Russian use the word.

Has the Russian government announced any investigations into the current status of their "alleged" (old) stockpiles of Novichok? Isn't that what a responsible manufacturer would do?

Yeah right.
