This happened a few days ago, but this is the first I’m hearing of it.
In Chardon, Ohio, the 41-year-old wife (a trans-woman) apparently exercised her 73-year-old husband until he had a heart attack:
A woman has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide for exercising her 73-year-old husband to death in a swimming pool, repeatedly refusing to let him leave the water.
Surveillance video showed Christine Newton-John, 41, pulling James Mason around the pool by his arms and legs, said Middlefield police Chief Joseph Stehlik
The chief said he counted 43 times in which Newton-John prevented her husband from leaving the water, and Mason rested his head on the side of the pool several times while gasping for breath.
. . . Mason had a heart attack on June 2 after the extended swim session. An officer who had investigated previous complaints that Mason was being abused pursued the case because he suspected there was more to the death, Stehlik said.
Newton-John pleaded guilty last Thursday and faces up to five years in prison. No sentencing date was set.
