Man throws meth-fueled 'death party' for ailing wife as she didn't want to die in a nursing home
A man from Minnesota was arrested after his wife was discovered dead in their home following a methamphetamine-fueled "death party" that he had hosted for her after he checked her out of the nursing home she was in.
58-year-old Duane Arden Johnson was arrested on January 25 for criminal neglect after he called 911 and reported that his wife, 69-year-old Debra Lynn Johnson, had died. The authorities found Debra's body inside the couple's home on January 24 in the town of Searles, southwest of Minneapolis.
The Free Press reported that Johnson told the authorities that he had medicated his wife with meth and that they had a "death party" because she didn't want to take her last breath in the nursing home that she had been living in at the time.
