A southeast Texas woman is charged with negligent homicide for giving her alcoholic husband an enema laced with sherry wine.

Police Detective Robert Turner in Lake Jackson, near Houston, says Tammy Jean Warner gave her 58 year old husband Michael the enema, knowing that the alcohol she put in it could be fatal.

"Sherry already has a greater alcohol content than normal wine," Turner said. "She knew that even if he passed out, the alcohol would continue to flow into him and he would absorb the alcohol, and that's what caused the overdose.

Turner said an autopsy revealed Warner had a blood alcohol count of .47, near six times the legal limit. "Anything over three, you're looking into going into a coma," Turner said.
