Police Investigating Death of Arizona Man From Chloroquine Phosphate
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4/28/2020 | Alana Goodman

Posted on 04/29/2020 7:54:17 AM PDT by Zenyatta

The Mesa City Police Department's homicide division is investigating the death of Gary Lenius, the Arizona man whose wife served him soda mixed with fish tank cleaner in what she claimed was a bid to fend off the coronavirus. A detective handling the case confirmed the investigation to the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday after requesting a recording of the Free Beacon's interviews with Lenius's wife, Wanda.

Gary Lenius, 68, died on March 22. Wanda, 61, told several news outlets last month that both she and her husband had ingested a substance used to clean aquariums after hearing President Donald Trump tout one of its ingredients, chloroquine phosphate, from the White House briefing room.

Did she murder her husband and blame it on Trump? I would think that a lot of estranged housewives are now thinking about injecting their husbands with Lysol!

So you keep "very old" fish tank cleaner in your pantry??

And she had abuse charges against her dismissed.

You know the MSM is rabidly searching for someone who drank bleach or Lysol to make famous.

If / when she is indicted, will the media be indicted as co-conspirators or accessories after the fact?

Recap: A hard core Democrat who hated her husband.

...Rather, they described Lenius as a levelheaded retired engineer and recounted a troubled marital relationship that included a previous domestic assault charge against his wife, of which she was ultimately found not guilty. The Free Beacon also reported that Wanda Lenius was a Democratic donor whose most recent contribution went to a “pro-science” super PAC.

“What bothers me about this is that Gary was a very intelligent man, a retired [mechanical] engineer who designed systems for John Deere in Waterloo, Iowa, and I really can’t see the scenario where Gary would say, ‘Yes, please, I would love to drink some of that Koi fish tank cleaner,’” one of his close friends told the Free Beacon. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”

.. Another source, who asked that all identifying information be withheld, told the Free Beacon earlier this month that Wanda Lenius “would constantly berate Gary in public.… Everyone was embarrassed for him, but he outwardly did not seem to care much.”

.. Campaign finance records show that Wanda Lenius has given thousands of dollars to Democratic groups and candidates over the past two years, most recently to the 314 Action Fund. The group bills itself as the “pro-science resistance” and has criticized the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, holding up the Lenius case to slam the White House.

Asked if she and Gary Lenius had a conversation about taking the chloroquine at that time, she told the Free Beacon: “No. I mean, it was really kind of a spur of the moment thing,” adding that the couple ingested “one teaspoon and some soda” each, at least four times the lethal limit.

_____________

Aha.... so she was charged with domestic assault concerning an earlier event?

So at four times the lethal dosage, he’s dead but she is alive and well? How does that work? I wonder what the search of her computer will reveal.... who hears the word ‘hydroxychloroquine’ and immediately thinks “hey...that’s the same product as the fish bowl cleaner that I bought years ago!”

That movie was a riot.

Of course, Jamie Lee wasn’t too bad either.

The fact that this Rabid Democrat would follow any shadow of a suggested approval of a chemical loosely familiar to an ingredient in a fish tank cleaner is immensely suspect. Suspect to the point of incredible.

Remember when their last names were being withheld for “privacy” purposes?

Well, it does give cover to the notion that a highly educated democrat was actually too stupid to survive. But, until there’s proof and a confession, he still gets to be the poster boy for the Party of Science. Not to mention the only person to ingest disinfectant BEFORE the President was accused, falsely, of suggesting it.

Agree. She murdered her husband and blamed it on Trump. Mark Dice has a segment about it today.

People who heard the “press” claim Trump convinced this guy to drink fish bowl cleaner and die: millions. People who will find out the man’s radical Democrat wife likely poisoned him and then blamed it on Trump: thousands?
