Preliminary results from an autopsy on Milosevic have so far indicated the former Yugoslav leader died of a heart attack in his cell at a UN detention centre in The Hague. There has been speculation he committed suicide or was poisoned.
It looks like the death of Milosevic is set to be shrouded in mystery and controversy. Shortly after the 64 year old died in his cell his lawyer reported that Milosevic had suspected that he was being poisoned. This seems to have been confirmed now with medical reports saying that the medication he was being prescribed for high blood pressure and a heart condition had been accompanied by other 'unprescribed' drugs which may have caused his death.
Now, the mainstream media is co-operating in a counter claim by saying that Milosevic 'took wrong drugs on purpose to get to Russia'. Indeed, Milosevic had been requesting treatment for a heart condition and asking that it should happen is Moscow as his treatment in Holland didn't appear to be working.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed today that it had received a letter from Slobodan Milosevic complaining of inadequate treatment and asking for help in getting permission to undergo treatment in Moscow.
Spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said, "In this hand-written letter, Slobodan Milosevic speaks about an inadequate treatment conducted by doctors of the International Tribunal ... and is again asking for Russian support in getting permission for undergoing therapy at a medical facility in Moscow"
Milosevic's lawyer Zdenko Tomanovic said his client had written to Russia claiming he had been given the wrong drugs in an attempt to silence him on the issue of the war crimes committed by NATO and the US. Only a couple of weeks earlier, another person involved in the trials was found dead, apparently having committed suicide.
