Lottery Winner Fatally Poisoned After Collecting His Winnings
A Chicago man was fatally poisoned one day after collecting his lottery winnings, NBC News reports.
Urooj Khan, a native of India, died July 20 — one day after he collected a lump sum of $425,000 on a winning $1 million scratch off instant lottery ticket.
Khan, 46, was buried after the medical examiner’s office determined that he died of natural causes. An autopsy revealed that Khan had no physical injuries and no unusual substances in his body.
But one week after his death, Khan’s family asked the medical examiner’s office to take a second look into his death.
