Richard Keyworth of Elk Grove Village, remembering with a 25-year-old Newsweek magazine, helped link the deaths of those who died in 1982 from cyanide-laced Tylenol.
160 poisoned Tylenol capsules were found. "This could have gone on for years without someone knowing about it.“ "Who knows how many could have died“, had the connection to Tylenol not been made so swiftly. Unfortunately the connection was still not swift enough. Tylenol is pulled off shelves
