A Frisco man died Thursday after drinking a water bottle containing a cloudy liquid as a Denton jury convicted him of child sexual assault, authorities say.

A Frisco man on trial in Denton died Thursday after drinking from a large water bottle containing a cloudy liquid as a jury found him guilty of child sexual assault, officials said.

Edward Leclair, 57, was accused of five counts involving one victim. The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office doesn’t yet list his cause or manner of death. Leclair had been released on bond following his arrest. that Leclair didn’t drink from the water bottle until the verdict was read, then he “just chugged it.”

After the verdict, Leclair was sent to a holding cell next to the courtroom as the timing of his punishment phase was discussed. Beck said that an investigator assigned to the courtroom had told the bailiff what Leclair had done and suggested he check on him.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

👏👏👏

I'd make the 'cloudy liquid' a courtroom standard.

Well... that's one way to save a lot of taxpayers money on lengthy litigation and even lengthier incarceration.

Buh bye!!

Should've drank before the assault

You'll excuse me if I don't care.

Good
