US Researcher Believed To Be On The Verge Of Significant Coronavirus Breakthrough, Found Dead
Bing Liu (University of Pittsburgh)
A researcher at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who was on the verge of very significant findings related to Coronavirus has been found dead with gunshot wounds, NBC News has reported.
The researcher identified as 37-year-old Bing Liu was found dead at his residence in Ross Township, north of Pittsburgh. His body was shot twice in the head and neck respectively.
Investigators also reportedly found another individual named Hao Gu dead in his car less than a mile away. The cops have claimed that Gu may have killed Liu and then committed suicide.
The relationship between the two and a possible motive for killing is still being ascertained.
“Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications”, the University of Pittsburgh said in a statement.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
