A Florida man who raised thousands of dollars on a GoFundMe page following the death of his husband was arrested after police said he violently killed his spouse and then staged a fake crime scene. Herbert Swilley, 55, was taken into custody Friday, months after his husband, Timothy Smith, was found dead in their Ocala apartment on March 25, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.

You will always be in my heart and thoughts,' the post read. 'To be honest, I miss you every day and wish you were here. Life isn’t the same without you. I miss your smile and your loving spirit.' He also set up a GoFundMe and raised more than $2,200 in donations for a 'celebration of life,' according to NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa. The GoFundMe has since been removed.
