And it's one of the most common poisons chosen by people who want to kill other people as well.)Īnd the pet poisoning angle should emphasize another point here. It's also favored by people who poison their neighbor's pets (a subject I've written about before) as seen in this recent case from Britain and this one from the United States. "Antifreeze poisoning is one of the most common forms of poisoning in small animals," according toPetMD. (In fact, it's sweet enough to pose a risk to pets who may wander into a garage and lick up a puddle of antifreeze which may have dripped from a car radiator. And - in this form, in a container of antifreeze, in any of its applications - from the poisoner's point of view, it offers another advantage - it's rather seductively sweet. In pure solution (as found at places like Anderson) it's colorless and odorless. And that brings me to the another point about ethylene glycol. But the other point here is that he was - allegedly, at least - so easily persuaded to drink that laced coffee.
