A Farmington, New York woman who allegedly admitted to friends she mixed up a batch of antifreeze-laced margaritas for her live-in boyfriend, who died four days after drinking the toxic cocktail, is now facing second-degree murder charges.
Police arrested 51-year-old Cynthia Galens of Farmington on Wednesday and charged her with the death of 47-year-old Thomas Stack. On Oct. 3, medics summoned to the couple's home took an unresponsive Thomas to the hospital, where he died.
An autopsy listed the cause of death as "complications of ethylene glycol intoxication," referring to the colorless, odorless and sweet-tasting chemical found in automotive antifreeze. Troopers say they were tipped off this week that Cynthia was responsible.
On a recent trip to Florida, troopers said, Cynthia told a friend that she poisoned Thomas. That friend then notified police in Clearwater, Fla., who passed on the information to local investigators.
