mob/proc/CheckOre(A)
    switch(A)
        if("Junk")
            for(var/obj/stack/ore/junk/J in src)
                return 1
    return 0

is there a better way to check for an item in a player's contents than to use ugly procs like that?

Just use locate().

atom/proc/HasItem(type_path)
  return locate(type_path) in src

mob/verb/Die()
  if(HasItem(/obj/item/cyanide_pill))
    del src
