Possible Murder of the Chaldean Patriarch Joseph III

Dear A ntv,

Long time no see. I wonder whether you could shed any light on Cardinal Eugene Tisserant's hint that Joseph III was murdered. Here's the relevant extract from his 1931 article Eglise nestorienne (columns 241-2), which I have translated into English. Tisserant had just been speaking about Joseph's fund-raising efforts in Poland and Italy in the 1730s:

The long wait seems to have cooled the affection of his flock for its shepherd. A sharp disagreement ensued, since the old patriarch wished to provide for his succession by appointing as his coadjutor a young priest aged 23 or 25, named Antonio Gallo in the Italian documents. Joseph III acted without seeking the views of the faithful and the clergy, and on 20 November 1754 consecrated Antonio at Mardin without prior notice. (A correction is required to the list of metropolitans of Amid given by Tfinkdji, which omits his name. Tfinkdji, op. cit., p. 488, extract, p. 40.) The Catholics protested at Rome, and on 31 May 1756 the Propaganda nullified the election. (MS Vatican Latin 8063, folios 234-49, contains a report of Cardinal Tamburini and other papers relative to this affair.)

But the presumptive successor to the patriarchate died on 11 January 1757, and twelve days later Joseph III also died suddenly, and perhaps violently (MS Vatican Latin 8063, folio 294). [The rest of the paragraph deals with Joseph IV.]

You wouldn't happen to have access to Tamburini's report, would you? I haven't seen it myself, and would be interested to see what he has to say.
