Authorities say that Judy Church poisoned her boyfriend with ethylene glycol, which is often found in antifreeze, ink, deicing fluid and hydraulic brake fluid.
A Massachusetts woman pleaded not guilty Thursday after being charged with murdering her boyfriend, who was found to have died of antifreeze poisoning last year.
Church called police requesting an ambulance just after 8 p.m. on Nov. 11, according to the Essex District Attorney's Office. Emergency crews found Fowler, 46, in medical distress. He was taken to three different hospitals for care and pronounced dead on Nov. 13.Sign up for NECN newsletters.According to court documents, Church told the 911 dispatcher that her boyfriend"must have ingested something" and he could not stand,"was pulling the bedroom apart, and had a bloody nose.
According to court documents, hospital staff informed Fowler's family that his kidneys were damaged and, based on his symptoms, they believed he could have ingested poison -- specifically antifreeze. Fowler's family then contacted the Salisbury Police Department, telling a detective they thought this was suspicious and needed to be investigated further. Meanwhile, Fowler's health condition declined rapidly and he was in critical condition.
Detectives then went back to the Central Avenue home in Salisbury to interview Church. She wasn't home when they arrived, but she drove up while detectives were standing outside. When one of the detectives introduced himself, court documents show she asked,"What is this about?" Detectives asked Church if they could go inside her apartment to talk about Fowler but she said no, court documents show, stating her house was dirty and that the detectives had arrived unannounced so she didn't want them inside.
As the interview was about to end, Church's son told detectives they believed Fowler could have been a victim of carbon monoxide poisoning from work he was doing in the basement. They said it was a confined area with the house's heating and hot water appliances, and he was moving boxes in and out of the space, which connected to the son's apartment and also had an outside access door.
