Officials: Husband's Blood-Alcohol Level Was .47 Percent





Tammy Jean Warner, 42, turned herself into police Monday on a charge of criminal negligent homicide connected to her 58-year-old husband's May 2003 death.

Investigators said she gave her husband, Michael Warner, a sherry enema even though she knew his health problems made it extremely dangerous for him to consume alcohol.

Michael Warner died of alcohol poisoning. A toxicology report showed the husband had a blood-alcohol level of point-47 percent when he died, which is six times the legal standard for intoxication. Turner said a person drinking alcohol would usually pass out before getting a lethal dose.

Lake Jackson police detective Robert Turner said investigators believe Mrs. Warner administered at least two large bottles of sherry to her husband.


"The negligent comes from the fact that she provided the alcohol in large quantities to him and that he absorbed it and died from it. She knew and he knew that if he continued to absorb alcohol -- drink alcohol or absorb it any way -- it would kill him," Turner told Local 2.

Neighbors said the man had a history of alcoholism and was seriously ill with liver disease.

Police also charged Warner with fraudulent destruction of a legal document for burning her husband's will about a month before his death.

She was released from the Lake Jackson jail Monday night on a $30,000 bond.

I dont know how much alcohol can actually be absorbed from that end...

sounds more than a little odd. How did she get him to sit still for that?

some weird sex thing?

Or did he drink it like a glass of Metamucil?

My boyfriend's great grandmother killed her husband with a bleach enema! I think she was old and senile, but was never charged for it (keep in mind this was in the early 20th century).

It's a bizarre story all right, but something just doesn't smell right (if you'll pardon the uh..... er... pun). Apparently there is some bad blood between the woman and the husband's family, and the whole thing about burning the will just strikes me as odd. If she was trying to get away with something, would she burn it in front of a witness for God's sake? I kinda think the dude administered said enema to himself and went a little crazy with it and the family is making sure she's getting hung for it. Maybe I'll be proven wrong as the case unfolds, but I'm not buying off on this one just based on a sensationalist press story.

And yes, a whole lot of alcohol gets shot straight to the bloodstream through the membranes of the rectum. As I understand it, it's similar to the membranes in your nose. Think about people putting coke and God knows what else in their noses to get a buzz. Ever heard of phenergan suppositories for nausea for people who can't hold down the pills? Same difference.

On the nesd this am they said he had been doing it to himself for years, so I figure you have this one pegged right Jen.

I used to have a beautiful woman named Sherry who worked in our marketing department back in Illinois.

In no way related to the incident on this post, my wife would have killed me if she had found me with Sherry too!
