Man accused of killing missing wife 'dies in hospital two days after suicide attempt'

A man accused of murdering his missing wife has died in hospital following an alleged suicide attempt, his lawyer has said.

Fotis Dulos' lawyer Norm Pattis said his client died just after 5.30pm at Jacobi Medical Center on Thursday in the Bronx, New York.

The 52-year-old had apparently tried to take his own life inside his garage while awaiting trial for the murder of Jennifer Dulos who vanished after dropping her children at school.

According to the Mail Online, Mr Pattis said: "Mr Dulos was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. Now he has been executed."


The real estate businessman was found in his car inside the garage of his mansion in Farmington, Connecticut, on Tuesday afternoon, having suffered carbon monoxide poisoning.



Dulos was airlifted to UConn Heath in critical condition, having received treatment from the police officers at the scene and was then airlifted to the specialist centre for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber.

It was feared due the reported severity of his poisoning he would not be able to stand trial due to likely brain damage - if he ever woke up at all.

His sister Rena Dulos and her daughter Angelika flew over from the family's native Greece after news the accused had been taken to hospital.

Jennifer filed for divorce from her husband in 2017 and whisked her children away that night, prompting Mr Dulos to call 911 and say he did not know where his children were.

In a motion seeking custody of their children last year, now ages 8 to 13, Jennifer wrote: “I know that filing for divorce, and filing this motion will enrage [Fotis].

"I know he will retaliate by trying to harm me in some way . . . During the course of our marriage, he told me about sickening revenge fantasies and plans to cause physical harm to others who have wronged him.”
