    Holy fucking shit. I just realised that I know the woman at the centre of the recent death cap mushroom poisoning deaths. I used She and her husband were close friends of mine as we all worked together over 15 years ago. I went to their wedding and her in laws were genuinely the most lovely people. She had some serious issues but seemed to get better after meeting her husband. Her husband was also one of the kindest people i have ever met. I’m in shock.

        To be honest I haven’t seen either of them in years and I only posted here because it’s a little pocket visited by a select few. No way I’m making a similar post on the threads discussing it on reddit. Erin had her issues but I remember her as a person who was fiercely loyal to her friends and loved animals. She had a temper but I honestly don’t think she would ever intentionally harm someone. But then I knew her a long time ago and people can change for the worse.

        That actually has a lot of information I haven’t seen before. What I have seen before was pretty much saying just that police had no idea if she had eaten the meal herself, and did not know if there were mushrooms in the meal, and made it sound like she was not providing answers that she should have been able to. That extra information could make sense of that - if she was hoping for reconciliation and then the ex has not shown up she could easily have been too upset to eat, have spent the meal pushing food around her plate and have no idea afterwards if she has eaten any of it.
