A woman accused of poisoning her husband and burying his body in a California vineyard hanged herself in jail, authorities said.
Laren Sims, 36, had been held without bail in the Hernando County jail since her arrest in March. She was found hanging from a bedsheet Saturday night in an apparent suicide and died Sunday, an official said.
Sims wrote a confession detailing how she and a secretary from her husband’s law firm gave Larry McNabney horse tranquilizers at a Los Angeles hotel and eventually buried him at a San Joaquin County vineyard, police said.
