Forensic Findings
The initial
cause of death listed on Bruce Nickell’s death certiļ¬cate was pulmonary emphysema
because the coroner had failed to detect the cyanide in his body. It was not
until after Snow’s death, when Stella Nickell came for- ward with the hesitant
suggestion that her husband also had been the victim of a random cyanide
killer, that the true cause of death was determined. At that time, tissue
samples demonstrated cyanide poisoning. Sue Snow had levels of cyanide that
were easily detected by medical examiners.
