Inference
The symptoms that former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill began showing three days before his passing are consistent with lead poisoning. Recent analyses of Churchill's hair, however, revealed levels of lead comparable to those found in the hair of individuals from his era. These levels are significantly lower than the levels of lead that remain in the hair of lead poisoning victims who survive for more than a day after ingesting a lethal dose of the toxin.
