Po-po in Arizona open up a homicide investigation into the death of the man who drank fish tanker cleaner to fend off the Coronvirus.
The wife blamed President Trump, saying she and her husband ingested it after hearing the President tout one of its ingredients, chloroquine phosphate.
The media used the story to push their narrative that Trump was killing people.
The Washington FreeBeacon reports:
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.
Detective Teresa Van Galder, the homicide detective handling the case for the Mesa City Police Department, confirmed that the investigation is ongoing but declined to provide additional details.
"As this is an active investigation, I cannot go into any details at this time regarding the case," Van Galder said. The Free Beacon provided a recording of its interview last month with Wanda Lenius.
It became a national news story after the wife publicly blamed Trump.
The FreeBeacon reported in the March that the wife was a big Democrat donor whose most recent contribution went to a "pro-science" super PAC.
A friend tells the FreeBeacon says “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.'It just doesn't make any sense."
