At first, officials claimed that it was an unfortunate natural death. But his brother had his suspicions. He insisted Urooj had a proper autopsy (which would be ignored until his wife quickly tried to cash in his check). They had found traces of cyanide in his system! To think, his wife must have been one greedy woman to want all that money to herself. And now, let’s see the number one on our list of worst lottery winner horror stories.
