This is the first article I've seen that says she did in fact eat the mushrooms too. So many have left that out because they want this to be a scandal.

Oh yeah and the media loves a good scandal. I hope it doesn't affect the police investigation

And got mildly sick vs dead. Just makes it seem more deliberate to me. Not a cop though and I’m sure they are doing their due diligence.

Innocent before proven guilty, let's not speculate unnecessarily

  • she did it, including killing her own sister because of unknown reasons...
  • her husband did it as revenge, including his parents, because they liked her more than him
  • it was an accident

Two articles on the internet gives us not nearly enough information.

yeah i really have no idea what to think about it. ill admit i was quick to judge initially but it seems there might be more to it, that will come to light thanks to a decent justice system. maybe it was a legit terrible accident, honestly hard to say now

Is there any chance this wasn’t deliberate? Seems super sus.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

No way! Just because she invited over her estranged husband and his parents and other family members AND she had an interest in wild mushrooms AND her kids are perfectly fine

Of course it wasn't deliberate!

It's possible. I think what made it look real bad for her, as she says herself, is to give a "no comment" initial interview. I'm not aware of people being charged with murder for previous accidents of eating death caps that they picked themselves, so the fact that she initially hid things, and even now are still saying things that are clearly lies (e.g. the desiccator) doesn't make her look good.

Personally I'm not passing judgement yet, but it's definitely seems more interesting now than just an unfortunate accident. If her claim is true, does that mean we can't trust supermarket food to be safe now? That's would be a far bigger and serious revelation than another accidental death cap incident.
