  - Former Yugoslav President, 64 year old, Slobodan Milosevic, who had wanted to go to Russia for medical treatment, took drugs that worsened his health before dying in his prison cell, a Dutch medical expert said on to-day.
  
  Groningen University toxicologist Donald Uges told Reuters he thought Milosevic, whose body was released for burial after an autopsy and toxicology tests, had taken the drugs to improve his case for going to Russia, where his wife and son live." I don't think he took his medicines for suicide -- only for his trip to Moscow ... that is where his friends and family are. I think that was his last possibility to escape The Hague. I am so sure there is no murder."
  
  Uges further said tests he conducted two weeks ago on Milosevic's blood showed traces of rifampicin -- a drug against leprosy and tuberculosis that would have neutralised other medicines.
  
  A preliminary autopsy report on Sunday showed Milosevic died of a heart attack, but toxicology tests were still under way to establish its cause. Milosevic's son osevic's widow, brother and son all live in Russia. His wife Mira Markovic risks arrest if she returns to Serbia. Last month, the tribunal rejected a request by Milosevic to be allowed to travel to Moscow for specialist medical care.
  
  His lawyer said Milosevic feared he was being poisoned and wrote to Russia the day before he died asking for help.
  "The central issue is whether or not Mr. Milosevic was receiving the proper medical treatment," he told journalists.
  
  The man branded the "Butcher of the Balkans" had been on trial for four years on charges on 66 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes involving conflicts in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo that tore Yugoslavia apart in the 1990s.
  
  The autopsy on Milosevic was conducted by Dutch scientists and attended by Serbian pathologists. Serbia said the autopsy was very professional and the whole procedure was filmed.
  A spokeswoman for the U.N. tribunal said it was too early to say whether the heart attack might have been caused by poisoning or whether suicide could be ruled out, and noted that an inquiry ordered by court president Fausto Pocar was continuing.
  
  Former Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic committed suicide at the detention centre last week.
  
  Milosevic's lawyer said on Sunday his client had written to Russia asking for help a day before his death as he believed he had been given the wrong drugs -- including some for leprosy and tuberculosis -- in a bid to silence him.
  The Russian foreign ministry said on Monday it had received the letter and said Milosevic's brother Borislav, former Yugoslav ambassador to Moscow, had asked a group of Russian doctors to fly to the Hague to take part in the autopsy.
  
  The Dutch pathologists said Milosevic died of a "myocardial infarction" that could be explained by two heart conditions he suffered from, the U.N. tribunal said on Sunday.
  A myocardial infarction is usually caused by a blockage in one of the coronary arteries that supplies blood to the heart.
  
  Cardiologists treating Milosevic had warned he was at risk of a hypertensive emergency, when surges in blood pressure can damage the heart, kidneys and central nervous system.
  Leo Bokeria, head of the cardiology centre in Moscow where Milosevic had wanted to be treated, told Russia TV he was not convinced that poisoning provoked the heart attack.
  
  "It's unlikely. From what was said the day he died, that he was found lifeless, it looked very much like a very sudden death from heart failure," Bokeria said.
  
  Any way bygones are bygones. He is dead .
  
  Prosecution witnesses during his trial were criticised, some of them were even labelled as totally unreliable. It even appeared that there could be a situation whereby the International Court would have difficulties in establishing if Milosevic was guilty of war crimes.
  
  The conspiracy theories can begin . Murder or natural causes?

  .....or Milosevic just wanted to be buried onto the Red Square but not in jail or even he came to the conclusion to find his last 'refuge' into the Mausoleum...next to the relicts of Ul'yanov,yeah!
  And in general not only Milosevic's son ,osevic's widow, brother and son all live in Russia. There are many other persons who had chosen the Russia as the right place to escape the risks to be arrested for the crimes in their countries.The one of 'em Bakay-'kuchmanoid' even was able to gain the Russian citizenship for the couple of days instead of these 5 years which are written into the R.'laws' for such cases.Interesting,how did he manage to bore the dealing within such terms?
  Or better to say-how much was he forced to pay for that honour? Russia looks now like America ...back to front.Want to see a real criminal-go to Russia.

  Well,
  
  As you all know my feelings on the wars in former Yugoslavia, all I can say on the matter is that when Milosevic died, I hope it hurt. A lot. I hope that the rabid nationalist racist scumbag died in pain. As for the current discussions on where they should bury him, well, he deserves the same treatment as other war criminals, his ashes scattered to the wind in an unmarked, unrecorded place, or better still, bury his in Sarajevo, so the citizens of that city can desecrate his grave on a daily basis. That's all he deserves. Just the same treatment as those who suffered under Serbian aggression which he was responsible for stimulating. Rot in hell Milosevic. If there is such a place, you are a worthy resident.
  
  As for if he was poisoned, well, if he was, and the poisoner ever comes forward, I'll gladly buy the man/woman a drink.
  
  DL

  I would not - because we have been denied a judgement - preferably followed by a judicial hanging.
  
  However, I am amused by the parallel between this and Weider's crackpot claims about Napoleon being poisoned. N wrote letters saying he was being poisoned by the British - and so, as in Serbia, many of his follwoers wanted to believe this as it make stheir hero sound like a martyr, since it logically followed that this person must have been poisoned for a reason and so, someone was afraid of him, despite his fall from power. The Nap claims are false - and so are those connected with Milosevic - but they gain currency over time.
