Zdenko Tomanovic, the lawyer of Slobodan Milosevic, said on 12.3.2006 that Mr. Milosevic feared that he was being poisoned and had said so only the day before he died on 11.3.2006 in his prison cell at the Hague in Holland. Mr. Milosevic had complained of “strong drugs in his system only used for treating leprosy or tubercolosis.” The Chief Prosecutor for the United Nations , Carle del Ponte, said that he did not die of suicide or poisoning. She claimed that there were “no outward signs” of suicide or unnatural death” on the body. Mr. Milosevic had said in a letter he wrote the day before he died that “traces of a heavy drug” had been found in his bloodstream.” His lawyer produced the letter at a tribunal being held by the United Nations. “He was seriously concerned about bein poisoned” Mr. Tomanovic stated on 12.3.2006. The UN tribunal (handling the case of human rights abuses allegedly committed by Mr. Milosevic when he was President of Yugoslavia/Serbia) stopped an autopsy on the body of Mr. Milosevic being held outside the Netherlands. The first post-mortem – which was carried out by a Dutch coroner - did not find the cause of death. The Government of Serbia has sent a pathologist to act as a witness of a subsequent autopsy to be held by Dutch pathologists at the Netherlands Forensic Institute.
