Woman Gave Husband Lethal Sherry Enema - Arrested

[matcom]

<snip>

ANGLETON - Investigators say a Lake Jackson woman caused her husband's death by giving him a sherry enema, causing his blood alcohol level to surge to 0.47 percent - almost six times the legal intoxication limit.

Tammy Jean Warner, 42, was indicted on a charge of negligent homicide. She is also charged with burning the will of her late husband, Michael Warner, a month before his death in May.

Michael Warner, a 58-year-old machine shop owner, had a long history of alcoholism, but couldn't ingest alcohol because of medical problems with his throat, said Lake Jackson Police detective Robert Turner. The wine enema was a way he could become intoxicated without drinking alcohol, Turner said.

"I heard of this kind of thing in mortuary school in 1970, but this is the first time I've ever heard of someone actually doing it," Turner said.

Turner said police think she gave him at least two large bottles of sherry, which is stronger than wine, in the enema on May 21. "We're not talking about little bottles here," Turner said, "These were at least 1.5 liter bottles."

She told police that she later found him dead in his bed. Turner said she admitted giving him the sherry, but not of causing his death.

[meegbear]

10. You naughty naughty boy you ...

[tjwmason]

50. Reminds me of a 'Yes Prime Minister' joke

Sir Humphrey Appleby is having dinner with the Master of his old college, they are talking about a (fictional) state in the Middle East and its slightly barbarous 'justice' system.

Master: It's awful, they stone women who commit adultery.

Sir Humphrey: Unlike Britain where women commit adultery when they get stoned.

2. There are worse ways to die, I suppose.

Not sure there are stranger ways though. :shrug:

hmmm, death by Harvey's Bristol Cream... I'm thinking... I'm thinking...

[LoZoccolo]

3. They leave out an interesting part of the story.

I wonder why she burned his will. Like it would probably be because he willed stuff to people other than her, but I wonder to whom and how much.

[ProfessorGAC]

56. That Wouldn't Matter, Would It?

I thought all 50 states were community property domains, and that if he died, she gets everything automatically. The will is a formality to direct things after SHE dies or to guide her if she chooses to give certain assets away upon his death.

For instance, i have no will at all, there is no probate in Illinois, if my wife survives. She gets 100%, since it's already her's as well as mine. (The state doesn't consider it 50:50. They consider it 100% owned by both people.)

So, the will wouldn't cut her out of anything. Unless they were planning a divorce, at which point the will WOULD cut her out. But i didn't see that in the article either.

I think the will is irrelevant, unless there is a prenup to establish ownership of certain goods brought into the marriage. But, anything obtained during the period of the marriage is 100% her's upon his death anyway. Right?

4. Eiwww I don't think I either love my husband that much

or hate him that much to do a sherry enema on him.

[havocmom]

7. might be fun for ex-husbands though

kidding! I'm kidding!

[bleedingheart]

5. nothing like relaxing with the spouse and having a glass/enema of wine

oh ...this is just too bizarre...

[Mr.Green93]

6. Beer

is safer.

[Bluebear]

8. "Lethal Sherry Enema" sounds like some bizarre S/M stage name

[havocmom]

17. Yeah, but she shortened it to just Sherry Enema so as not to scare the

mailman.

Damn, this thread has me laughing so much I am coughing again.

[Richardo]

26. Great drag queen name

:D

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Or a punk band.

Lethal Sherry Enema and the Douche Bags!

[progmom]

33. stop!!!!

My coworkers are poking their heads over the cube walls to see why I am laughing so hard!!!

[WI_DEM]

9. So he couldn't drink alcohol so to get that high he has it

by enema. Boy, that guy really had an alcohol problem.

[BikeWriter]

11. Holy shit, Tammy Jean...

:(

[meegbear]

12. I've heard of this ...

guys getting beer enemas and getting drunk off it. Never tried it myself though, but then, never had the desire to.

[BOHICA06]

13. That lower GI is just a SPONGE!!!!!

and you don't have to be polite and sip.

[XNASA]

14. Sherr-err-err-erry-erry-ee-bay-yay-beeeeee!!!!!!

Sherry, baby.

[SarahB]

15. At least one wouldn't throw up.

:shrug:

[matcom]

16. hey, at my party, maybe you could have.......

ummmmm

nevermind :evilgrin:

[Amaya]

19. Enema party at Matcom's!

Umm... i don't think I'll be attending that one :)

[SarahB]

22. You said?

Frankly, it's frightening that I'm now armed with the knowledge that it's even a possibility. :evilgrin:

[Amaya]

24. Uh oh, now I'm clenching my butt cheeks

:scared:

[SarahB]

28. I wouldn't worry.

You're missing the other addtional parts I like.

Being single again is going to be so much fun. :7

[Dogmudgeon]

43. Even more frightening

That SarahBelle should have a graphic of an enema bag at the ready.

--p!

[SarahB]

48. Oh, I just googled it.

On the other hand, I like to keep everyone on their toes as well. I don't like to get too comfortable in any one-dimensional mode. I am nothing if not frighteningly multi-faceted, complex, and a little freaky at times. :D

[commander bunnypants]

18. so if you had a coffee enema

you could get a buzz like all get out

CB

[Sporadicus]

31. Would You Like Cream & Sugar? n/t

[elperromagico]

20. I know if *I* couldn't ingest alcohol, my first thought would be

"Yeah, how about a Bordeaux up the ass?"

[Richardo]

29. bwa hahahahahaha

Hilarious, elperro....

[davsand]

21. That is just wrong on so many levels.

I'm still sorting those images out...

I understand the search for a buzz--but that just really is so wrong...

He can't drink any more so he has to get his booze up the backside-THAT is just icky.

His WIFE gives him enemas so he can get a buzz on--THAT is just icky.

Sherry is just so nasty to begin with (I guess if you are gonna consume it this way at least you don't have to taste it...)

She gives him the enema and goes off to destry the will--That is just nasty too...

Sorry kids--I am not cool enough for this one. I am WAAAAAY too uptight for this story.

23. Why hasn't anyone mentioned the term...

shit-faced?

I'm disappointed in all of you.

:dunce:

[matcom]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

have been sitting back since i posted the story WAITING just WAITING for that!

:toast:

YOU get the prize!

yes, i cannot BELIEVE it took so long either!

:D

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

57. I'm sure she used a washcloth after he procedure

[bif]

27. Sherry enemas in moderation

3 Liters?!?!?!? Wow!

[amazona]

30. jeez louise

I'm afraid if the other half ruined his durned throat with his drinking, then he could either give himself his own damned enema or do without. I sure as heck wouldn't help him pickle himself with 2(!) 1.5 liter bottles. Did he never stop and think what would happen to his wife if he did die of this nonsense? I mean, let's face it, I'm going to assume that he didn't just lay there peacefully and take these enemas if he didn't want them, right?

I hadn't heard of alcohol enemas in years, but maybe these days I hang out with the wrong crowd. I thought they were strictly a fetish thing but now that you mention that they can be used for people who have ruined their esophagus...hokay...it makes sense, I guess.


As far as coffee enemas, here is a true story: A friend of mine was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and told she would die in the late 1950s. After they ran out of the medical options (radiation, removal of the thyroid, etc.) they sent her home to die. Well, she decided to do the coffee enema thing. She did it for over 30 years and lived well into the 90s even after her new hubby (she outlived the old one!) made her stop with the enemas already. She did have to take medicine to make up for not having a thyroid, and her eyes were a little pop-eyed, but all in all, it was better than being dead in 1959.

32. 30 years of enemas might make you pop-eyed too!

It made MY eyes bug out and I'm not even the one getting them.

35. If you drive, don't get a sherry enema. If you get a sherry...

[LiberallyInclined]

40. if stopped by the cops, it puts a whole new spin on "what did you blow..?"

i mean...how would you like to be the cop administering the fart-i-lyzer?

37. If the fella had to get drunk w/ a sherry enema....

.... what would he look like when he chewed gum?

*envisions man doing shallow knee bends for an extended period*

And who would want to watch this man blow a bubble when he chewed his gum? Definitely not me.

[sendero]

38. Why waste...

.... sherry up the butt? Seems like a job for really cheap vodka :)

[amazona]

41. well I heard you should not use hard liquor for enemas

The way I heard it, for safety reasons -- as we've just seen demonstrated -- you should stick to a low alcohol wine or beer. Apparently the intestines can absorb QUITE a lot of liquid and, well, it is very easy to provide a lethal quantity of alcohol by that means of intake if you were using hard liquor.

It sounds like -- dare I say it -- these people had only a half-assed idea of what they were doing.

45. I was just making a joke..

... but I'll remember your advice should I ever decide to drink from the "wrong" end :)

[LiberallyInclined]

39. I knew someone who told me he had gotten high from a marijuana enema-

but i think he was just blowing smoke out his ass... :bounce:

[Redneck Socialist]

42. Hmmm, ya learn sumptin' new every day

Who would a' thunk it?

[Dogmudgeon]

44. It's old news to me

I knew someone in college -- the late 1970s -- who preferred his cocktails up his tail.

He also was adept at making a liquid hashish concoction for the same use.

46. right

"knew SOMEONE" :D

[Arkana]

47. I'll probably get modded for saying this, but I have to

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned foreplay?

[matcom]

49. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Magrittes Pipe]

51. She probably got the idea from reading the DU Meeting Room.

:o

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

52. Remember when you and I did this with Kahlua?

I forget as I had horrible alcohol poisoning - can you refresh my permanently scarred memory?

[Magrittes Pipe]

53. Yeah, but do you have emphysema anymore?

QED.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. Nope - cleared right up - it was a medicinal procedure after all

Remember - we got the idea from a web forum group?

[Zuni]

54. There is a similar rumor of Stevie Nicks (the singer) and cocaine

Back in the 1970s, Fleetwood Mac were snorting up about 8 million dollars worth of cocaine a year. Stevie Nicks did so much her nostrils got burned up and raw or something. In order to get high, she began taking enemas of a cocaine and water solution.

I do not know if it is true, but it is interesting the lengths people will go to in order to get f-ed up.

[Spacemom]

59. Why do these things always happen in Texas??

I fear for my state. :scared:

[matcom]

61. just NOW?

:D

:shrug:

[yellowcanine]

60. Liquor enemas are an old fratboy party "trick" - and there have been a

number of deaths or near deaths because of it. Kidney dialysis is sometimes necessary to save them.
