TL;DR Summary

A former medical resident at Mayo Clinic, Connor Bowman, has been charged with second-degree murder for allegedly poisoning his wife, Betty Bowman, who died from toxic effects of colchicine, a medicine used to treat gout. Connor Bowman attempted to stop the autopsy and claimed his wife had a rare illness, but hospital tests did not confirm this. Suspicious circumstances led the medical examiner's office to halt the order for cremation. Evidence suggests that Connor Bowman had been researching colchicine prior to his wife's death. He is currently in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on November 1st.
