In the early hours of November 28th, 1953, U.S. Army biochemist Frank Olson plummeted out the window of room 1018A at the Statler Hotel in New York City. Though his colleagues first reported this as a jump or fall, details about Frank Olson's opposition to the use of bioweapons in the Korean War, his connections to the CIA's Project MKUltra, and a recent unwitting LSD trip would eventually come to light.

What happened to Frank Olson? Did he fall out the window in the middle of the night? Did he have some sort of nervous breakdown and leap to his death? Or, is it possible that Frank Olson was pushed?
