Litvinenko dies after polonium poisoning claim pits Putin
Britain's Health Protection Agency said polonium 210 was found in Litvinenko's urine and radiation traces were found at his home and a hotel bar he visited the day he fell ill. Police treated it as an unexplained death not yet a murder while Litvinenko accused Putin and blamed his regime for his death.

What is polonium-210 and how does it kill
Polonium-210 is a rare radioactive element first found by Marie and Pierre Curie. It is extremely lethal when ingested, with tiny amounts capable of causing death. Experts say it is usually produced artificially in reactors or particle accelerators and can be obtained as a byproduct of uranium processing.

Final days in Litvinenko death saga and Politkovskaya murder
The timeline covers Oct 7 Politkovskaya’s murder and Oct 19 Litvinenko accusing Putin. It notes a Nov 1 Itsu Sushi meeting with Mario Scaramella, the later email on émigrés, Zakayev’s account, and Litvinenko’s stomach pains leading to hospital care. Doctors later diagnosed polonium-210 poisoning and investigators pledged to trace witnesses and movements.
