Someone among these individuals killed Robert. Winston follows every lead that he can until he suddenly finds himself in a hospital bed suffering from polonium poisoning. In one of those rare situations where being overweight actually saves a person’s life, Winston realizes that his girth has helped him survive the radioactive element in his system.
