In death, he has become famous as a cautionary tale about the risks of mindlessly following the armchair medical advice President Donald Trump has dispensed from the White House podium.
But friends of 68-year-old Gary Lenius, the Arizona man who passed away last month from drinking a fish tank cleaner that contained an ingredient, chloroquine phosphate, that Trump had touted as a potential coronavirus cure, say they are still struggling to understand what drove an engineer with an extensive science background to do something so wildly out of character.

His insane wife is who “drove” that decision.
She wanted to get rid of him. She’s a psycho Democrat.
Idiot or killed.
But no chemist, apparently.
This just goes to show all you millennials, the STEM degrees are NOT transferrable.
Choose wisely.

He put himself out of his misery.
Sometimes, its worth it.
Man Who Died Ingesting Fish Tank Cleaner Remembered as Intelligent, Levelheaded Engineer, but . . . and you knew there was going to be a but here, right? But, he was stupid.
Who never took chemistry?
Wouldn’t an engineer do research before ingesting an unknown chemical? Or is that only a scientist?
There is a lot of insanity going on these days.
Generally smart people have gone looney toons.
Well I hear Ted Bundy and a lot of serial killers described the same. Doesn’t make them sensible or whatever this guy’s problem was.
Anyone who ingests fish tank cleaner is definitely an idiot. What purpose would be served by killing him?
And being an engineer .... well, that says it all right there. :-)
LOL!
Yes, reminds me of Churchill's old line (I think it was him), when some lady said 'If you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee'. To which Churchill replied, 'If you were my wife, I'd drink it'.
Clearly, Lenious was no Genious
So was the one who drank Clorox. All intelligent level headed . . . people.
She killed him. Seems pretty obvious.
“...they are still struggling to understand what drove an engineer with an extensive science background to do something so wildly out of character...”
His wife poisoned him and blamed it on Trump.
Intelligent...but not very smart.
“In 2005, after working full time at John Deere for four years, Wanda Lenius went on long-term disability after developing debilitating mental and physical health problems from gender and age discrimination she faced at the company, according to court records in a 2012 lawsuit she filed against John Deere.
Wanda Lenius told the court that she faced “gender-based harassment” and age discrimination, including getting passed over for promotions because she was a woman in her 40s. The litigation was similar to a lawsuit she had filed in 1997 against her former employer, the Cedar Valley Medical Clinic, although in that case, she said the company discriminated against her because she was viewed as a “young, single girl.” That case was dismissed in 1999.
Dr. James Harding, Wanda's psychologist at the Black Hawk-Grundy Mental Health Center in Waterloo, told the court in the John Deere lawsuit that Wanda had post-traumatic stress disorder and anger issues due to her experience at the company.
Yeah, this is a psycho lady!
I dated someone only a little less crazy than this thing. I didn’t date again for over a decade after. It does not matter how much you bend over to accommodate them, because showing endless compassion makes them further despise you. Being “Christ-like” means nothing to them.
His crazy wife often made up “health potions” he gladly drank.
He pulled a Churchill ...
