A Summit County woman who wrote a book about helping children deal with the grief of losing a loved one was charged Monday in the death of her husband and father of her children.
Kouri Richins, 33, was charged with aggravated murder, a first degree felony, along with three charges of possession with intent to distribute.
The book was released on March 7, 2023, nearly a year after Richins’ husband, Eric, died. Court documents show died on March 4, 2022 after deputies arrived at the family home and found him at the foot of his bed. An autopsy showed Eric had died from an overdose of fentanyl, with the medical examiner claiming the level of the drug in his system was approximately five times the lethal dosage.
Three days later, the documents show that Eric and Kouri had dinner at their home and that he became “very ill” and believed he had been poisoned. “Eric told a friend that he thought his wife was trying to poison him,” the documents read.
