An ethnic Chinese scientist working on the novel coronavirus in the United States has been shot dead in what police said was a murder-suicide over an “intimate partner”.
The body of his suspected attacker, 46-year-old Hao Gu, was discovered around the corner in what authorities said was a suicide, according to local news channel WTAE. That did not stop social media lighting up with conspiracy theories that he had been targeted because of his work studying the virus.“Bing Liu was killed by a corrupt government,” wrote one Twitter user. “He was close to exposing the truth about Covid-19 and how it originated in the US.”
Liu was mourned by his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh, who said they would continue his research.
