The liquid consumed by a Texas pedophile before he died inside a courtroom last year was determined to be sodium nitrite, according to the local medical examiner’s office that ruled his death a suicide.

Edward Leclair, 57, was on trial in Denton, Texas, in August facing five counts of sexual abuse and as the guilty verdict was being read, he downed a water bottle filled with a cloudy liquid.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that Leclair died by suicide via the toxic effects of sodium nitrite.

Too much pure water can kill you as well.

There is not a blooming thing on the planet that can not harm you if taken in the right amount.

Somebody had a really great plan and executed it very well.

How interesting he does it while they're reading the guilty verdict.....so how did he get into court with it on his person to begin with?

[caww]

He had to have someone else helping him....someone who got the stuff for him...and someone to let him pass inspection before going into court.

Is he still dead?

Is he still dead?

Most likely. The last confirmed case of suddenly not being dead was just a shade under 2000 years ago. Word on the street is that his Dad had something to do with the whole suddenly not dead thing.

He should have done this BEFORE he abused children! But, the verdict has been rendered and is now complete. Guilty as charged!

Sodium Nitrite is not found in wine. Sulfites are found in wine.

[4Runner]

And white wine has far more sodium sulfite added to it than does red wine which is preserved by the natural tannins in it.

Good.

You are correct. I misremembered.

There once was a Texas pedophile
Whose relationship with children was quite vile
A trial would’ve sealed his fate
If it wasn’t for a cup of sodium nitrate
So this story ends with a smile

That’s all I got.

You’ve all been fooled. Big deal. A criminal killed in the colosseum
A deep state distraction for the sheeple. The big time pedophiles run the federal government.

I love the way you described that - very cleverly done!

Salpeter?

“Salpeter?”
Saltpeter. The oxidizer in gun powder.

All he needed to do was change his last name to “Biden”

"Salpeter?"

There was an old legend or myth that saltpeter was added to soldier's rations to diminish sexual urge.
