"Anthrax scientist commits suicide as FBI closes in"
By LARA JAKES JORDAN and DAVID DISHNEAU

WASHINGTON -- A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed
suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal
charges against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the
nation in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,
according to a published report.
The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, 62, who worked for the past 18 years at
the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Md., had been told
about the impending prosecution, the Los Angeles Times reported for
Friday editions. The laboratory has been at the center of the FBI's
investigation of the anthrax attacks, which killed five people.
Ivins died Tuesday at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Maryland. The
Times, quoting an unidentified colleague, said the scientist had taken
a massive dose of a prescription Tylenol mixed with codeine.

Find the guy who killed Vince Foster, and you'll find the guy who
killed Ivins!
