<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> It wasn&#8217;t until the graffiti investigation that Royal took a blood test which tested positive for thallium, with 3.6micrograms per liter above the safe toxicity level for people, Morganelli said.<br> After Yang&#8217;s computer was seized, he admitted to buying chemicals online but said it was intended to harm himself if his grades started to decline.<br> He did admit to mixing the chemicals with food and drinks in the dorm refrigerator.<br> &#8216;Initially, Mr. Royal was dumbfounded by this as everyone else, because he believed they had a fairly cordial relationship as roommates,&#8217; Assistant District Attorney Abe Kassis said.<br> Royal, who graduated in the spring, was immediately treated for poisoning, but prosecutors say he still suffers physical effects from the poisoning.<br> Yang was sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.<br> He is no longer enrolled at Lehigh, and his student visa has been revoked.</p>
