They said there was a lethal amount in his system. They said his death is a homicide and what they catergorized it as is cyanide toxicity. They want to know why this Indian immigrant who was said to be a hardworking and successful businessman die. They want to find who is responsible for his death. It is said that no one has been arrested for this awful action. As of June 26th  he was jumping with joy (literally) at the 7 Eleven. His wife, daughter and friends were there with him as he accepted the oversized $1 million check. He claimed he jumped two feet in the air then ran back inside to tip the clerk $100. He explained that when he bought the scratch off he said I hit a million and he did. His wishes for the money were pay off some bills, use money for his mortgage and give money to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and put some money back in his  dry cleaning business. He told reporters that winning the lottery meant everything to him. They also told him that he would have to wait a few weeks to get the check so they could do taxes and everything. After taxes it was $425,000 and he would have gotten the check on July 19. However he never got to spend it. The next day after dinner his family said they heard him screamin and took him to a local hospital where he was then found dead. After many many tests in early September they found cyanide in his blood. In late November the tests showed a lethal level of cyanide and his death was becoming a murder case. The guy owning the 7 Eleven said I would never think that anybody would hurt him. He was a nice person, very hopeful and gentle and very hardworking.
