Litvinenko Post-Mortem 'Most Dangerous Ever'

A pathologist has described Alexander Litvinenko's post-mortem as one of the most dangerous examinations ever undertaken in the western world.

Dr Benjamin Swift said the former Russian agent's body represented a considerable contamination hazard to the hospital where the examination was carried out after he was poisoned by polonium-210 in November 2006.

Those involved in the examination wore two white safety suits, protective gloves taped at the sleeves and specialised hoods, into which air was piped through a filter.

Giving evidence to the public inquiry into Mr Litvinenko's death, Dr Swift said: "It was probably the most dangerous post-mortem that's ever been conducted."

Fellow pathologist Dr Nathaniel Cary said that Mr Litvinenko, who lost all his hair before his death, showed signs of multi-organ failure as a result of acute radiation poisoning.
