Minnesota doctor Connor Bowman was arrested for poisoning his wife, who died suddenly after being admitted to the hospital in August.

Bowman’s wife Betty, 32, died four days after she was admitted to the hospital and her death was flagged as suspicious, NBC News reported.

Investigators from the Rochester Police Department shared Monday that they had “collected evidence that suggests Connor, who once worked for poison control, may have given Betty a drug for an ailment she did not have.”

Authorities also uncovered that the Bowmans were having financial and marital difficulties in the lead up to the death, and that the 30-year-old doc claimed he would get a large life insurance payout after her passing.

The couple was “talking about a divorce following infidelity and a deteriorating relationship,” the criminal complaint stated.

Betty first entered the hospital in mid-August with symptoms of diarrhea and dehydration. She later suffered from cardiac issues, organ failure, and even had to undergo surgery to remove part of her colon, according to the complaint.

Connor Bowman requested to have her body cremated after her death, but the process was halted when the medical examiner’s office determined her death was suspicious.

The Southeast Minnesota Medical Examiner’s Office alerted police later that month, and although the female suspect was not named in the complaint, police later identified her as Betty Bowman.
