SALISBURY, MASS. (WHDH) - A Salisbury woman is accused of fatally poisoning her boyfriend with ethylene glycol, an industrial compound commonly found in antifreeze, deicing fluid, and hydraulic brake fluid.
Judy Church, 64, is charged with the murder of 46-year-old Leroy Fowler, according to the Essex District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors say that, on November 11 around 8 p.m., Church called 911 to request an ambulance for Fowler. EMS responded and found Fowler in obvious medical distress.
Fowler was initially taken to Anna Jacques Hospital in Newburyport and then to Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge before being taken to Beth Israel Hospital where he died on November 13.
Church is set to be arraigned Friday on a murder charge at Newburyport District Court.
