Idaho woman sentenced to life for killing husband (kmvt.com)

An Idaho woman has been sentenced to life in prison for killing her husband after the judge told her that her explanation for the man’s death did not hold up.

KXLY-TV reported that 67-year-old Lori Isenberg made a deal to plead guilty to second-degree murder in February. Isenberg is already serving time for embezzling $579,000 from the North Idaho Housing Coalition, where she worked.

Around the same time in 2018, her husband was found dead in Lake Coeur d’Alene with lethal levels of Benadryl in his system.

In court Monday, Isenberg gave a rambling explanation calling her husband’s death an accident. But Judge Scott Wayman sentenced Isenberg to life in prison with 30 years fixed.
 
Anything ever happen with this? Don't know how this forum works but dying from a lethal dose of benadryl is complete , let alone your wife secretly dosing you with a deadly amount.

I say this as a dude who built up a benadryl tolerance i was taking 40 a night. I quit that years ago but I know what it does to you, and it's not death. You can google that too:

"Few people actually die from an antihistamine overdose. However, serious heart rhythm disturbances may occur, which can cause death."

A wife secretly over-dosing you is ridiculous.

Building up a tolerance is vastly different than a one time lethal dose. And the police, toxicologist, prosecutor, and judge all disagree with your uninformed opinion. So do I - an RN with over 4 decades of experience because I've seen it too.
 
I believe what you say. Can you please link me any information about past cases or any other literature or simply explain how a death caused by lacing drinks (or whatever the method confirmed as, I don't know) with a fatal amount of an antihistamine?

I believe an overdose death is possible for people without a tolerance like me. I don't understand how a person could consume that much of this medicine without realizing it was dosed or whatever else that person was thinking, and continue to drink so much that it leads to death. Thanks.

Or maybe the cause of this death was a diphenhydramine overdose just like George Floyd's death would've been ruled a fentanyl overdose if there wasn't video of it. In your experience, without video or any other information about Floyd's death, do you think the "police, toxicologist, prosecutor, and judge all disagree with [an] uninformed opinion" about death from fentanyl? Is there a single logical or practical way in which a person can not only die from a diphenhydramine overdose, which is very uncommon, and was also secretly dosed a fatal amount? Sorry if I came and interrupted your nice forum here, but I don't understand how anyone could believe the cause of this death.
