Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic Dies In Jail Cell

HeadlineMar 13, 2006

In Europe, the top news today remains the death of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. He was found dead on Saturday in his prison cell in the Hague where he was on trial for war crimes. Questions remain over how Milosevic died. An initial autopsy showed he suffered a heart attack. But earlier today a Dutch toxicologist said unprescribed drugs have been found in his body that may have neutralized his treatment for his heart condition. Milosevic wrote a letter just a day before his death alleging he was being poisoned. The United Nations tribunal has dismissed the poisoning speculation. We’ll have more on Milosevic’s death and legacy later in the show.
