2. i thought so too. i remember when he was suddenly at death's door it seemed kind of -- well,

sudden.

In late 2004, after effectively being confined within his Ramallah compound for over two years by the Israeli army, Arafat became ill, fell into a coma and died on 11 November 2004 at the age of 75. While the exact cause of his death remains unknown and no autopsy was performed, his doctors spoke of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and cirrhosis. Levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element, in quantities much higher than normal, have been found in his personal items, suggesting possible poisoning.
