Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich asked "are we dying?" after terrifying 'poisoning'

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reportedly asked scientists examining him if he was "going to die" after falling ill from suspected poisoning.

It's believed the oligarch was poisoned during peace talks between Russia and Ukraine earlier this month. The two nations have been embroiled in a bloody war since Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade the sovereign state in February.

Reports suggested Abramovich may have been poisoned by a First World War chemical agent named Chloropicrin or a low dosage of Novichock. He reportedly experienced debilitating symptoms after the alleged incident, including peeling skin and loss of vision.
