The reporter in the video warns viewers that the image may be disturbing, but it isn't. He drinks from a small brown bottle, but does not fall over. He does not gag, foam at the mouth, vomit, or pass out. Ne worry pas, cowlips.

Horror as Bosnian Croat general commits suicide by drinking poison in UN war crimes courtroom
A former Bosnian Croat general, Slobodan Praljak, a former film and theatre director turned wartime general, was always known for theatrics.
In shocking footage beamed around the world Wednesday, Slobodan Praljak drank from a small brown glass bottle and exclaimed he had taken poison moments after UN judges upheld his 20-year jail term for atrocities committed during the 1990s Balkans conflict.
The 72-year-old died in hospital after being rushed from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), casting a cloud over what should have been a successful end to the court’s tenure.
Prosecutors said their investigation would focus on what killed Praljak and whether he had received any outside help in obtaining the suspected poison.
