A Colorado dentist was arrested Sunday following accusations he poisoned and killed his wife, according to police.
James Toliver Craig, 45, had driven his wife, 43, to a hospital on Wednesday because she was complaining of severe headaches and dizziness, the Aurora Police Department wrote in a press release.
Shortly after arriving at the hospital, his wife's condition rapidly deteriorated, and she was placed on a ventilator in an intensive care unit. She was eventually declared medically brain-dead.
Doctors took her off life support and contacted the police Sunday morning because they believed her medical situation was suspicious.
