Rasputin - scientific explanation?

[muhali3]

I am posting this here because i dont know where else to put it.

 

Does anyone know why Rasputin (Russian Romanov Mystic guy) did not die after being poisoned with cyanide two times, then shot, then beat up in the head, then shot in the head?

 

Is there any scientific explanation for his survival through these assassination attempts?

 

FYI: He finally died after some aristocrats had threw him under a frozen lake. He still managed to stay alive under the water for a very very long period of time, but eventually drowned.

Lance: No, they found out that his supposed footlong wang in the jar was actually a sea cucumber!

 

Ecoli: How would a really strong immune system take care of a shot to the head and chest?! Yet I suppose you were talking about the poisoned food. In that case, a really strong immune system would probably make sense.

Yes, but that would just mean that his real wang-in-a-jar has yet to turn up.

It could have been made by whomever chronicled this account to support his "mystic scary vampire guy" image.
