A North Carolina man has been charged with murder after killing his wife during what he claims was a dream. Audio from a 911 call the man made has been released:
A Raleigh, North Carolina, man accused of killing his wife told a 911 dispatcher that he took too much cold medicine and woke up to find her "dead on the floor."
Early Friday morning, Matthew Phelps, 28, called 911 and told the dispatcher, "I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she's dead on the floor." "I have blood all over me and there's a bloody knife on the bed," Phelps said. "I think I did it." "I can't believe this," he said.
The Raleigh Police Department released the audio from the 911 call but redacted some information and altered the caller's voice.
Phelps told 911, "I took more medicine than I should have." He said he "took Coricidin Cough & Cold," explaining, "a lot of times I can't sleep at night." The dispatcher asked if the victim was awake, and Phelps responded, "She's not breathing. Oh my God."
Coricidin Cough & Cold is made by Bayer. It contains an antihistamine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and a cough suppressant, dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Dextromethorphan (DXM) is used recreationally for its dissociative effects.
Bayer, the makers of Coricidin, said in a statement, "Bayer extends our deepest sympathies to this family." "Patient safety is our top priority, and we continually monitor adverse events regarding all of our products," Bayer said, adding, "There is no evidence to suggest that Coricidin is associated with violent behavior."

Nope. You might check your own family tree for clansmen. Many, if not most, were Democrats. Those members of my family who have bothered to register to vote generally follow my lead, and register "independent". The rest are republicans. But, thanks for your concern!!

What the haemorrhaging fuck does any of this have to do with politics or the Klan, Runaway? You're getting increasingly deranged as time goes by. Make like an ABit Socket 754 mobo and quit posting for a while, will you?
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

None of it has anything to do with the article. I responded to a little douche sniping at me. Try to keep up.

Ok we'll call them conservatives instead of democrats... or were your relatives progressive radical republican liberals?
I always use this meme as a red flag when dealing with people because either their logic is flawed or they're happy with lying to you or themselves.
So which are you? Delusional or a compulsive liar?
