"So he may have had a condition, but I do know uh because I've researched this. By the mid late 50s, the US was already developing aerosols. They could spray it at you. you anyhow die of a heart attack and if you were not autopsied within like an hour case closed they it just looked like a heart attack."
Richard Dolan says that by the late 1950s the US was developing aerosol methods that could induce a fatal heart attack. He raises this while discussing Edward J. Ruppelt’s death at 37, but says he is not claiming it happened in Ruppelt’s case.
