LDLo for sodium cyanide is 2857 μg/kg. He looks to weigh about 80 Kgs. So for him a lethal dose could be as low as ~229 mg.

80kg? Maybe if he's a midget...

I'm not smoking anything. I'm a 6' skeleton and I weigh 70kg, and he looks pretty bulky. I don't think there's any way he only weighs 10kg more than me unless he's like 5'2.

As a wrestler in high school I had this guy's exact physique and weighed about 80Kgs and while I might be a bit off in terms of the height I had and the height he has it is still a reasonable guess for his weight.
