    Po 210 Inhalation

    Pure conjecture:

    It would be interesting to know if the poor fellow was a smoker. Po210 could have been placed in a cigarette, or pack, or a cigar as it readily vaporizes. The latter would provide excuse for a box that would provide adequate shielding for the assassin, although people don't inhale cigars.

    Perhaps a fancy cigarette holder, which would narrow the list of suspects as such items are relatively rare nowadays.

    Another reason to kick the habit.
