British nuclear expert dies in mysterious fall (UN building in Austria)
Source: Mirror UK

A British nuclear expert taking part in disarmament talks with Iran has died in mysterious cicumstances at a UN building in Austria.

Timothy Hampton, 47, plunged to his death from the 17th floor and was found in a stairwell just hours before high-level discussions were due to resume in Vienna.

Investigators said they have not ruled out murder or suicide, but local sources said no suicide note was found.

Police are also investigating the death of another Brit who fell from the same building four months ago.

12. 2nd Brit to die from fall from that building in 4 months?
I'd say close the building. Sounds dangerous.
And this goes onto my growing list of strange deaths of scientists.

17. Yeah, that's the ticket - the British scientists reach out for the railing on the
