Kind of weird sources, but a search turns up TONS of stuff, so that leads me to believe there's definitely something to this. Essentially the assertion is that 22 British SDI researchers all committed suicide, some in super-weird and gruesome ways, which seems incredibly bizarre.

Has anyone seen any mainstream writing about this?

(If this is something that's been done to death, please excuse me. But I just now heard about this!)

I guess if you havent got access to a shower desperate measures may need to be taken to freshen up....

but that's just sick! How long did it take?

Oh jeez.

I posted that in a major hurry before leaving work. And you can't change thread titles, it seems. Ugh.

where is this from, and is there some sort of last updated, date on it some where. I'm just wondering what year it's from so a person can research it a little more.

I think these are the Marconi deaths - all the scientists had been working for Marconi at the time of their deaths. There is a tiny wikipedia article on it, unfortunately because it all happened in the 1980s there's no way to access the newspaper articles relating to it on the web.
