Is it true that a person on the verge of finding a cure for cancer was once murdered?

Question

I remember vaguely reading about -what I believe- was a brilliant Russian scientist in the US who was on the verge of finding a breakthrough cure for Cancer. He mysteriously dissapeared shortly before he was to go public with his findings. Parts of his body later washed up in some lake. This sounds logical, the Pharmaceutical community would have stood to lose billions had he been succesful.

Is there any truth to this?

Answer 1

You're telling the story, you can make it up as you go.
I think you may have been watching too much TV

Answer 2

I think I would head down to the children's cancer center at the nearest hospital and tell all the little kids. I am someone who has gone through cancer, and they are the fist ones I would want to know.

Answer 3

It sounds like a movie that I saw with Sean Connery in the rain forest or something, I don't remember if it was based on a true story, but I think it might have been.

Answer 4

I don't know if that's true but I do believe that there is a known cure for cancer.It's true that if it were revealed the pharmaceutical companies would lose billions and the world would fall into a deep recession.Instead they just let children and young people die.

Answer 5

When Al Einstein told U.S. Govt. agency that Willhelm Reich's plans for a perpetual energy machine could very well work, Reich was arrested by feds and died in prison. The point I try to make is that any thing of this type is plausable....
