If a United Nations' nuclear scientist is hired to monitor Iran's nuclear activities and he was murdered under suspicious circumstances, one would assume that an Iranian media organization would deliberately refuse to be at the forefront of breaking the story. Nevertheless, this ironic set of circumstances has actually occured.

Iran is giving more exposure to the mysterious death of a UN employee at a complex in Vienna than Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, or the New York Times and those organizations have a large enough budget to hire a correspondent to cover the UN full-time. Apparently, the UN is getting away with murder and only the Iranian media seems to worry about the sad plight of Mr. Hampton's family.

Press TV, based in Tehran, Iran, reports that, "a doctor who carried out a second post-mortem examination on the body of Timothy Hampton says the nuclear expert's fall from the UN building in Vienna was murder."

The 47-year-old scientist from Great Britain, who had been involved in monitoring nuclear activities, was discovered dead at the last week of October at the bottom of the staircase in the United Nations' complex in Vienna.

The coroner who first examined Mr. Hampton's corpse concluded that there "were no suspicious circumstances." Olen Gryshuck, and her family raised doubts about the reliability of the medical assessment, so another physician was requested to repeat the autopsy.

According to Press TV, "the new doctor, Professor Kathrin Yen, of the Ludwig Institut in Graz, Austria, says he has found evidence that Hampton did not commit suicide. She believes one possible theory is that Hampton was carried to the 17th floor from his work place on the sixth floor and thrown down from the height."

She said, "in my opinion, it does not look like suicide. My example is that somebody took him up to the floor and threw him down. At the moment, I don't have the police reports. We did a (T scan). From the external exam, I saw injuries on the neck, but these were not due to strangulation."

Mr. Hampton was an employee of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) at the time of his death. He was monitoring tremors around the world to uncover illegal nuclear tests.

As reported by Press-TV, "initial reports said that Hampton may have been involved in the Vienna talks between Israel and world powers in the Austrian capital, but a CBTO spokesman later said that he was not connected with discussions."
