Chinese Professor Researching COVID-19 Killed In United States by SyrusdeHansome(m): 6:52pm On May 06, 2020 |
A University of Pittsburgh professor, Bing Liu, on the
verge of making very significant findings researching
COVID-19, according to the university, was shot and
killed in an apparent murder-suicide over the weekend,
according to CNN.
The research assistant professor was found in his town
house on Saturday with gunshot wounds to the head,
neck, torso and extremities, according to the Ross
Police Department.
Investigators believe an unidentified second man, who
was found dead in his car, shot and killed Liu in his
home before returning to his car and taking his own life.
They however, said there is “zero indication that there
was targeting due to his (Liu) being Chinese”.
A statement by his colleagues at the university’s
Department of Computational and Systems Biology
described Liu as “an outstanding researcher”.
They also promised to complete Liu’s research in an
effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence.
They said, “We are deeply saddened by the tragic death
of Bing Liu, a prolific researcher and admired colleague
at Pitt. The university extends our deepest sympathies to
Liu’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult
time.
“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.
“We will make an effort to complete what he started in
an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence.
“His loss will be felt throughout the entire scientific
community. Please keep his family, friends, and
colleagues in your thoughts.”

Whoever killed him didn't want him to get the credit for the discovery he was about to unleash. More likely to be professional jealousy 3 Likes |
