It’s most likely she did dose Him. Overdose Him . Especially if she’s forging signatures But not just that it’s the fact of OD from Fentanyl You have to shoot up to really OD from that .

Right after he died, and it was found out he had a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system, Kouri sounded like she was in disbelief! She firstly said that Eric ONLY OCCASIONALLY would take a few of those gummies!! They are legal, and he did not take them often. In his line of work, he would never take alll these drugs, because he knew he could get severely injured if he was so high, plus he loved his business, his work, he loved his business too much to be so drugged up! None of the families ever saw him high. Not once. He never would never get far gone on drugs because he loved his sons so much. His family knew all that he told them before - that he believed Kouri was out to get him, for the money. Luckily, he had the chance to sign over his estate & life insurance policies, to his blood family! It's very sad that he didn't get out of that situation fast enough. He was contemplating divorce, and told his family. He so wanted to believe in her, and he wanted his sons to have their parents together. But he knew, he knew that she tried to do something similar before - the time he broke out in hives and this throat almost closing, due to that sandwich she made him, then thar other time w/ fentanyl, but it wasn't strong enough.... I just wish he got the hell outta there fast enough... But that's how much he loved his sons. He wanted them with both parents.... Unfortunately, you can't work out your issues with a wife that wanted you dead and gone! And yes, it is crazy, how her family wants to say that "she'd never do something like that!" But they said that, to maybe sway upcoming jury members, and to show a decent narrative on the show. But you gotta wonder - what they are really thinking, in the back of their minds... Of course, right now, they are in complete denial. It's a sad story for them too. Kouri murdered her loving husband, and by doing that, she hurt their boys for the rest of their lived!

Don’t waste a single day. Eric likely believed he had many years left with his children and wife. Within a very short period of time his life was over. Don’t take any breath for granted. Before you know it, you’ll be old and gray or you may not be here at all. That’s not to depress people who read this, it’s to motivate them and have them appreciate how fragile life really is. Stay safe out there. RIP Eric

It's usually thru a job benefit and is enough to cover funeral costs for each spouse or child. If the loss was of a breadwinner, enough to cover the house mortgage, to help preserve the home for the kids. This case was extreme.

Right.. also that her brother is wearing a shirt with Eric’s business on it.. and after seeing the walk the dog letter, is clearly just to put salt in the wound and upset his family.

[@blueflameSM]

They're in denial. They know she did it, and the evidence is damning. The fact that she put a signature on a policy, the husband had a secret will. Let that be the most damning, a SECRET WILL to exclude the killer wife. Her family is vile, and the fact that they had the gall to stand there and say it's about the kids, they want the estate and money. All of his estate should be going to his side of the family, the 3 kids should be in their custody and zero visitation rights. Eric deserves justice, his family deserves justice.

Consuming One alcoholic drink while on medication will not cause such a severe reaction. When taking any medication you are advised to avoid alcohol.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

Exactly (about her brother). She is guilty as sin and is a very evil woman. Her fake smile in every photo tells me all I need to know. She wrote the book not to help children, but rather to make it look like she was the innocent "greiving wife" and "loving mother" trying to help her children get over the loss of their father (and also to make the children believe she is innocent). My father was just murdered in the identical way and his now ex-wife 33 years younger is taking my entire inheritance (well over $6 million) unless I can somehow stop her (which I doubt). She planned this out meticulously, and knew that the laws do not protect the nuclear family in about 49 states (with a small amount of protection in 6 states).
