The Garden Guest Who Served Poisoned Tea and Two Graves

A sweet, green smell at 5:40 a.m. led a 14-year-old paper carrier to a storm door left open and, hours later, a man dead on the kitchen floor with a bowl of tea-colored liquid and torn leaves - tests would later show aconitine. A widower and landscaper, David Collins spent months with unexplained gastrointestinal decline before collapsing; his wife's similar earlier illness and a mysteriously present monkshood plant raise one central question: who brought the poison into their lives?
In this episode, we walk through the sequence of events from that morning discovery to the medical findings and the people connected to the Collins household, following the clues that link long-term exposure, an herb grower who visited daily, and a single unrecorded plant - could a trusted helper have been the delivery method for a slow-acting toxin?
Person: David Collins
Date: Morning discovery at 5:40 a.m.; pronounced dead at 7:02 a.m.
Age: 44
Toxin: Aconitine detected in liquid and tissue
Location: Collins house, Sycamore Bend
- The storm door at the Collins house was standing open at 5:40 a.m. when Earl Lewis, age 14, noticed a sweet, green smell and did not enter.
- David Collins was found unresponsive on the kitchen floor and pronounced dead at 7:02 a.m, at Sutter Valley Medical Center.
- A ceramic mixing bowl on the counter contained a tea-colored liquid and a scatter of torn green leaves; forensic tests confirmed aconitine in that liquid.
- David had months of nausea, stomach cramps, and hand tingling in 2011 with diffuse mucosal irritation found by gastroenterologist Brian Sato; no structural cause was identified.
- A monkshood plant was identified in the Collins raised herb bed within 48 hours of David's death but did not appear in Donald Rice’s meticulous sales and inventory records.
