DENVER – An 11-month-old child who died after being exposed to marijuana is believed to be the first person whose death has been attributed to marijuana exposure, according to two Colorado doctors who published a report on the death in August.The report by Thomas M. Nappe, DO, who works at the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center in Denver, and Christopher O. Hoyte, MD, with the Department of Emergency Medicine at the CU Anschutz Medical Center, was published in the August edition of the journal “Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine.”According to the report, the infant had “no known past medical history,” yet was admitted to the emergency room unresponsive with a depressed nervous system, then went into cardiac arrest and later died. The report notes that the infant was “irritable with decreased activity” in the day or two beforehand, but “was noted to be healthy” beforehand.A subsequent medical examination on the child was performed, which found THC enzymes in his blood, though the report notes that “route and timing of exposure to cannabis were unknown.”However, the report noted: “Additional history disclosed an unstable motel-living situation and parental admission of drug possession, including cannabis.”It also said it was “highly unlikely” the THC entered the boy through “passive exposure,” which could mean second-hand smoking or breastfeeding, among other things.The autopsy of the boy found he was suffering from myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart that, according to the Myocarditis Foundation, “usually attacks otherwise healthy people” and “is believed” to cause between 5 and 20 percent of sudden death in young adults. But the autopsy did not find signs of bacterial or viral infections, which often can contribute to myocarditis, according to the foundation.Nappe and Hoyte in their report say that they “propose a relationship between cannabis exposure in this patient and myocarditis, leading to cardiac arrest and ultimately death.”That conclusion, they say, should lead fellow medical professionals to consider urine screenings for THC in child patients who show signs of myocarditis and live in areas where marijuana is widely-used, like Colorado. They also recommend that parents be counseled on how to prevent such exposures, writing that children are at an increased risk of exposure through edible marijuana.Their report says they believe given the timing of THC’s metabolism in the human body that the boy ingested “a single, acute high-potency” dose between 2 and 6 days before his death.While no death has been directly linked to a marijuana overdose, the authors also note other instances in which young adults were diagnosed with myocarditis after ingesting marijuana, though all recovered.The authors’ conclusion says: 2816

DENVER – A 69-year-old retired bus driver sits in a Denver jail this Thanksgiving holiday awaiting extradition back to Indiana following his arrest Tuesday in connection with a 34-year-old case that Indiana officials told him he’d completed his sentence for more than three decades ago – a situation that a Denver attorney says reminds him of the Jim Crow era of America.“I got a panicked, freaked-out phone call, as one would expect, from the family on Tuesday saying that they’ve just taken our grandfather who hasn’t had a brush with the law in more than three decades,” said Denver civil rights attorney Jason Flores-Williams, who is representing Theodell McGowan in the case.According to Flores-Williams, Denver Sheriff Department deputies showed up at McGowan’s home Tuesday as three generations of family members prepared for Thanksgiving and arrested him in front of his family.“It’s been terrible,” McGowan told KMGH from jail Friday. “I had planned to have Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter.”Deputies told McGowan and his family that they had a warrant for his arrest out of Gary, Indiana from 34 years ago for allegedly violating the terms of his sentence at the time.According to Flores-Williams, McGowan received an 18-month sentence at a halfway house in connection with a car theft. According to a writ of habeas corpus filed by Flores-Williams, McGowan was told at the time that he’d completed his sentence and could move out of the halfway house, which he did.“He was doing his time at a halfway house in which he would go to a job every day away from the halfway house, and somebody told him at the halfway house that he had done his time,” Flores-Williams said. “He had paid his debt to society and so that he could leave, so this is technical.”McGowan has spent the past 30-plus years in Colorado, where he worked as an RTD bus driver and bus driver for Denver Public Schools for 20 years before retiring. He regularly attends the New Beginnings Church in Aurora, Colorado.McGowan said Friday that he went through multiple background checks for his jobs as well as a Secret Service background check when he drove buses during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver and the warrant never showed up.“I did the most extensive background check you can do … this ain’t ever come up,” McGowan said.Flores-Williams says that someone in Indiana doing paperwork issued the warrant despite what McGowan says he was told decades ago and living a life free of criminal charges since then.“Somehow, someway, somebody – without thinking – in Indiana saw this technicality and issued a warrant for his arrest, which Denver had no choice but to comply with,” Flores-Williams said.After McGowan was arrested Tuesday, according to Flores-Williams, Denver sheriff’s deputies forced McGowan to sign a waiver of extradition without allowing him to consult with attorneys or his family. Flores-Williams says that McGowan was not allowed to retrieve his dental plate before he was brought to jail and that he has had a hard time eating without it.“I led a stable life, paid for a house, bought a new car … I had a stable life and all of a sudden this comes up from 30-some years ago and they say I owe them eight or nine more months,” McGowan said. “It’s totally unfair to me because it’s a risk to me losing everything I’ve accumulated in the last 30 years.”Now, Flores-Williams says that prosecutors in both Denver and Indiana say they are unsure what to do with the case. He says the writ of habeas corpus filed Friday in U.S. District Court of Colorado was denied because Denver does not have a case.“The Denver courts – their hands are tied. I’ve spoken with the Denver district attorney and friends there, and they don’t even have a case for the guy,” Flores-Williams said. “I’ve called Indiana. The DA in Gary, Indiana isn’t even aware of the case, so this really comes down to somebody in some office not thinking about the consequences of their actions.”Flores-Williams says that he’s been trying to convince officials there is a “more humane way” to handle the situation “rather than wasting the resources, and all the time and energy” of putting McGowan behind bars.“It’s completely inhumane, and at the end of the day what it really is, is a miscarriage of justice,” Flores-Williams said. “We as a society have no interest in seeing this man, who’s been an asset to his community, behind bars right now.”McGowan said he doesn’t think he’s being treated fairly but said he would do what officials are telling him to do if it’s necessary.“There should be a benefit to turning your life around and trying to do the right thing and becoming a productive, taxpaying citizen. My life is totally different,” he said. “If I really gotta do it, I wish they would let me do it in Colorado around my family because I’m not connecting to Indiana in no kind of way no more.”And after having big Thanksgiving plans earlier in the week, McGowan said Friday he didn’t eat on his Thanksgiving spent in jail because he has “no appetite for the kind of food they serve up in here.” “I’m 70 years old. I’m too old for this,” he said.McGowan, who is a father, grandfather and great grandfather, says he feels embarrassed by the situation.“Embarrassed, and tired and old. But I’m also embarrassed because I think I’m disappointing my family because they look up to me as a role model,” he said. His fiancée, Helen Allen, called him a “very loving person” who is loved by both her and his children.Flores-Williams compares what he says is happening to McGowan to the Jim Crow era.“It reminds me of something out of the Jim Crow era, where there’d be some ridiculous charge, some ridiculous technicality, and because somebody decides to call in from Indiana, an older African-American gentleman’s life is basically ruined because he’s thrown behind bars,” he said.McGowan and Flores-Williams are still waiting to see what happens next. But McGowan said he feels that he is being penalized after doing everything he could to change the man he used to be over the past three decades.“What I want [people] to know is not really happening to me. I would like for them to know if you turn your life around and do all the right things, that should be recognized,” he said. “Not if you do the right thing, they reach way back in your past, constantly coming up with your past and using that to penalize you. I’m not no threat to the community. I’m not no threat to nobody.” 6483

DENVER, Colorado — Dr. Denise Mowder has some theories as to why a man who appeared to be a doting father and husband could do what Chris Watts is accused of doing.The associate professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at MSU Denver and former prosecutor has worked with thousands of victims of family violence.She said case studies of fathers killing their children show the motive is most often rage, but there are other reasons."Most were done — 60 percent were done — by rage, the other 10 percent they don't know the cause, and the other 30 percent were spousal revenge. I'm pretty surprised he didn't kill himself, too. Oftentimes, it goes in a pattern," said Mowder, who said in this case, there could be another reason for the murders."I think he had a vision of another life with this other woman — carefree, no responsibilities," she said. "Two children and another on the way, that's a big responsibility."The fact that Chris Watts went in front of a KMGH?television camera to plead for his family's lives after he knew they were dead indicates, to Mowder, that he planned to blame an intruder, play victim and eventually start a new life."This whole facade he put on right after they started looking for them -- that was very odd, and it makes me wonder if he wasn't trying to find an out to be with the girlfriend," said Mowder. "Somebody else did it. I'm the poor grieving father."But the investigation quickly centered on him, as court records show he was having an affair with a co-worker."I think he thought he would just keep it up and it'd be a who-done-it," said Mowder. "Because where he put them, he had to think it through that no one would ever find them."He eventually told police a new story, and Mowder said it is no surprise based on her experience with perpetrators of domestic violence that he is blaming his wife."When he said she was the one strangling the children, I knew right then he was the one who strangled the children because he can give all the details of what he said she did because he was doing it himself," she said. "It's going to be hard on the family to hear the lies. And there's some secrets there, I'm afraid. It's going to be hard for the jury. It's going to be hard for the public to really understand because there is no understanding it," Mowder said.  2366
