Colorado dentist accused of fatally poisoning spouse

A Colorado dentist was arrested Sunday for allegedly poisoning his spouse in what police known as a “heinous, complicated and calculated homicide.”

James Toliver Craig, of Aurora, had pushed his 43-year-old spouse to the hospital Wednesday evening after she complained of dizziness and extreme complications, Aurora police stated.

Quickly after arriving, her situation quickly deteriorated and he or she was positioned on a ventilator within the ICU earlier than being declared mind lifeless, investigators stated.

Medical doctors determined to take the sufferer off life help early Sunday morning.

Nevertheless, they believed her speedy deterioration was suspicious and reported it to police, in response to cops.

The Aurora police’s Main Crimes Murder Unit launched an investigation and located that the sufferer was poisoned — allegedly by the person who had rushed her to the hospital.

“When the suspicious particulars of this case got here to mild, our staff of officers and murder detectives tirelessly labored to uncover the reality behind the sufferer’s sudden sickness and loss of life,” Division Chief Mark Hildebrand stated in a press release. “It was shortly found this was in actual fact a heinous, complicated and calculated homicide.”

As soon as the lady was taken off life help, they obtained a warrant and arrested Craig, 45, early Sunday.

He was booked into the county jail on a first-degree homicide cost that afternoon, police stated.

No motive has been launched for the killing.

The investigation is ongoing.
