BUCHAREST, ROMANIA (AP) - A pathologist says the popular Romanian singer Madalina Manole caused her own death by drinking nearly a pint (nearly half a liter) of insecticide.
National Forensic Institute chief Dan Demengiu said Thursday the singer died within minutes of drinking a powerful poison called Furadan, which is used to control insects in crops.
Manole’s husband found her dead early Wednesday, her 43rd birthday.
