Remember when an older Arizona man and his wife ingested fish tank cleaner in late March, triggering the man’s death? Remember when prominent critics such as Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe and Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan, among others, blamed President Trump for the man’s death?

Now there’s more information that makes the story of the man’s death far more mysterious than previously imagined. As The Washington Free Beacon reports in a lengthy piece describing 68-year-old Gary Lenius, the Arizona man who died on March 22 from the fish tank cleaner, Lenius appears to have been anything but some loony guy who would take such a step without considering the consequences. The picture drawn from people who knew Lenius was of a highly rational man who would tolerate his wife’s angry outbursts with an enormous amount of calm.
