CHICAGO—A U.S. medical
examiner says a lottery winner was fatally poisoned with cyanide a day after he
collected nearly $425,000.
Cook County Medical
Examiner Stephen Cina says a limited exam initially found Urooj Khan died of
natural causes, but a relative asked for a deeper investigation.
A full toxicology test
revealed Khan had ingested a deadly amount of cyanide, and his death was
re-classified as a homicide.
Khan died July 20, a
day after collecting the lump sum option on a $1 million win. He bought the
ticket in Chicago.
Cina said Monday it’s
likely that Khan’s body will be exhumed as part of the investigation.
