Exactly. Like those who post hatred here of a whole religion that has very diverse opinions and schools of thought within it, that has devout and less devout adherents and exists in many cultures and countries.
One or two rotten apples oughtn't spoil the whole batch!

Yes, it is shameful. You are perpetuating distasteful conspiracy theories.
Some opinions are best kept to oneself - like your conspiracy theories about that woman who, like so many young people, died on holiday.
No mystery, no grey areas, just a human tragedy.

Indeed. And now her death (and any underlying mental health issues that contributed to the sad situation) are being exploited for all it's worth by tabloids, TV 'pundits' and the worst sort of internet conspiracy woo theorist.
Things like this are far more common than people think - ask any holiday rep. Unfortunately the fake tv detective Rutkowski (he who kidnapped the child in Norway) saw an opportunity for publicity.
The thing is with mental health problems is that they do come on in the early 20s,

Don't be daft, I-S. It isn't big, it isn't clever and nobody's impressed.
The school in Kraków who've done this have definitely done the right thing. Honouring the dead is the correct thing to do.
Just the North London thing and the other (topic related) bit. A very slight acquaintance of mine (mentioned in post 20) went there. I gather it's a really decent school.
In 1936 they had no idea how to read the gentic code of DNA.. Plus there is no 'Jewish' DNA.

That's the first (and hopefully the last) time I've seen the merit of a broadsheet journalist judged by the number of twitter followers they have. Most people don't even use twitter.
Yes, they have.
No, there are no 'serious doubts'. Just unworthy tittle tattle that prolongs the hurt over a young person's tragic (though not in any way mysterious or unexplained) death.
Shame on you.

That would be this week's, the most in-depth published in English and largely about the damage that tabloids and internet conspiracy theorists here in Poland have done by perpetuating tasteless myths. The Independent article is one of the few dignified accounts published about this whole sad affair.
She died of injuries sustained after jumping out of a window after being restrained by nurses. In the UK a coroner would probably give an Open Verdict.
Disgraceful that you posted this and perpetuated the tittle-tattle, prolonged the hurt. The OP clearly has no shame.

Very silly conspiracy theories. No mystery, no nothing.
"Sexual conspiracy theories and fake news have spread like wildfire in the case of Magdalena Zuk, a Polish woman who died on holiday in Egypt last month. Despite two autopsies confirming there was no foul play, the ridiculously far-fetched coverage - including an 'investigation' by a fake TV detective - shows no signs of abating. It is a parable for our times that could prove devastating to Egyptian tourism, not to mention Zuk's loved ones."
