The Mesa City, Ariz., Police Department has launched a homicide investigation into the death of Gary Lenius, the man whose wife gave him a drink laced with fish tank cleaner allegedly to ward off COVID-19.
The investigation, which was confirmed by the Washington Free Beacon, is being handled by Det. Teresa Van Galder, who could not provide any details at the moment because it’s an active case.
The news site also reported that it provided a recording of its interview with Wanda Lenius, 61, from March.
You may recall the story.
Gary Lenius, 68, died March 22 after ingesting a substance that is used to clean fish tanks.

I know a whole bunch of very intelligent men who are engineers and most couldn't get out of a wet paper bag.

We called it homicide right here on this forum from the very start.
After blaming Trump for this man’s death on the front page, the NYT will mention this with a line on page C18.

Well in a good detective tv show there is probably a $1million dollar life insurance policy on dead hubby with his darling little wife as the beneficiary. But that’s just a guess.

Wow. The Mesa PD finally put 2 and 2 together. So obvious to me from the first day the story was reported. I have read my Agatha Christie.

These days the leftist and liberal Democrats and their liberal media cohorts are making American look bad around the world and are not worth a pot to pee in. Since this invasion of the Wuhan corona virus started and because recognized as a real threat President Trump, along with his economic and scientific advisors have been in the White House everyday attempting to manage the ensuing national crisis, while the congressional Democrats essentially evacuated DC, ran home to hide in their basements, like Pelosi with $24,000.00 freezers full of premium ice cream, from there they, along with their liberal media minions, take cheap shots at the President using vague allegations that when looked into are found to be ridiculous contentions. At first the liberal media hyped up a toilet paper panic to where some hoarders now have a three year supply of toilet paper at home, with other people who are in actual need cannot find even a couple of rolls of toilet paper to purchase in retail stores, and are now moving on to hype up a meat panic, a possibility that Trump is looking to short circuit by use of the law, to keep the meat processing plants open as essential businesses and announcing that the Federal Government will supply effective personal protective equipment to the meat packing workers so that they can work safely. Some Democrats are opposing that executive action as they want to keep the US economy shutdown believing that a shutdown economy will hurt Trump’s chances of being re-elected in the November election.

Like I said the first time I heard this. When there is an overly elaborate alibi, watch out.
Her whole story was "fishy" from day one....and nothing to do with the tank.

How stupid was this guy to even think about eating something for a fish tank? His wife gives him fish tank cleaner to eat, and this genius says, OK.

The story implied that her husband drank the water with the fish tank clean because it had chloroquine in it, as though it was his idea. But, that is the wife's story. Maybe she talked him into it using logic about the chloroquine PO4. He may not have even had time to think it over. She may have mixed it up as though it would keep him healthy. I do not believe anything this woman has claimed.

Welcome to Murder, She Wrote, 2020 style. She must watch a lot of Forensic Files. I have seen similar cases on that show.

Everyone has been told by their mother, "If Tommy tells you to jump off the roof are you going to do it"? So the question is if the packaging says " POISON - Can be lethal if taken internally" do you swallow one of those pills?

Yep - Angela Lansbury could solve this one. I'm sure Cabot Cove had more than a few poisonings similar to this one. Probably by 'lobstah ' tank cleaner.

As I remember, the first stories said they both took it versus him drinking it. Is she related to Sparkle Markle ? Is she some raving beauty that her husband would put up with her over the years ?
