Didn't Love Phone Calls?

Rasputin was believed to be a mystic who had this weird relationship with the last Zars of Russia, Zar Nicholas II and his wife. The story goes that he was fed enough cyanide to kill him several times over. But there are all these theories about why the poison didn't work. And not only that when his body resurfaced a few days later, his lungs were filled with water which showed the one he was landed in the river, still alive and breathing in the water. I think it was the carpet that did it.
