The Perfect Murder

[Persia]

Yes, you can kill someone using strategic mind control. It's called the nocebo effect.

In the 1970s, a man was told that he had advanced liver cancer and had only a few months to live. He died within a few months. An autopsy showed that he had a tumor much too small to be the cause of death. As far as they could tell, the diagnosis itself killed him.
