Sad and stupid. I feel very bad for her husband who no doubt has a tremendous amount of guilt over this.

I can just imagine my wife doing the same thing.
All logic and safety go right out the window when it comes to animals, any animal, not just our pets.

“The barrel, which Solano said was tied to a door so it wouldn’t tip”
WHY WOULD IT TIP?

Rainbarrel Death: We looked up news articles of folks who had died in a Pioneer cemetery we were restoring.
The woman was normally locked in her room...obviously for alzheimers or the like. Someone forgot to lock the door and lo and behold..she committed rain barrel suicide.
Clue: She was very wealthy.
Grandpa had one. I'd say it's really pretty hard to fall into a rainbarrel.

She must have hit her head on the bottom of the pool when she dived in....
To: CedarDave
Wouldn't ice form at the top of the barrel first?
So you bring a barrel in...out of public view...wife falls in and dies.....while you're away and there's a wet cat running around.
Can someone explain how hubbie knew the cat was in the barrel and that's why wifie was in the barrel?
Why not just stick a broom, a coat..or anything in the barrel so the cat could latch on.
This really doesn't pass the smell test.

55 gallon barrel big enough for a person to fall into... 1/3 full of ice, about 20 gallons... how warped did the bottom of that barrel have to be to worry about it tipping?
Why worry about ice in a barrel?
Wait! Come back! I have lots more questions!

Because his wife fell in it.
Yeah, exactly.
Even were it a steel 55 gallon drum, only being a third full her weight probably would have been enough to tip it. Why would they worry that a plastic barrel tip, especially when it was going to just sit there and thaw? It wouldn’t, unless he was worried his wife’s body was going to tip it before she drowned.

“why would it tip?”
go to the video link and it is easy to see why it would tip, it has a rounded bottom. She may also have had a medical condition according to authorities.

Yep, that’s the other big question. Ice in a barrel? So what? Why was it so important to get this barrel into the house to “thaw”?
