Investigators suspect Utah doctor killed wife

Criminal Law

A search warrant shows authorities suspect a Utah doctor and lawyer killed his wife by giving her a lethal combination of drugs days after she underwent surgery.

The Deseret News reports that the search warrant filed in 4th District Court earlier this month shows authorities believe Martin MacNeill, who is serving time for identity fraud, had the motive and opportunity to kill his wife, Michele, in 2007.

An investigation is ongoing and he has not been charged in her death.

An initial autopsy attributed Michele MacNeill's death to natural causes after she was found dead in a bathtub in her home.

The new warrant states recent information led a medical examiner to believe drugs found in her system could have been lethal and question if she took the medications willingly.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
