The official ruling is in on the death of Christopher Scholtes, the Arizona man who pleaded guilty to murdering his 2-year-old daughter. A Medical Examiner stated that Scholtes took his own life using carbon monoxide, making official what authorities already suspected.
Scholtes used the odorless gas hours before he was scheduled to turn himself in to the authorities. He was required to surrender ahead of his sentencing for the death of his daughter, Parker. It’s hard to imagine the state of mind he must have been in, knowing he was facing decades in prison and choosing this route instead.
