Defendant Just Convicted of Deviant Acts with a Child Drinks Mysterious Liquid That Kills Him

DENTON – A Frisco man died last week after drinking an unknown liquid shortly after being found guilty of child sex crimes.

Edward Leclair has just been found guilty on five counts of child sex abuse when he was seen drinking a cloudy liquid from a water bottle. In a holding cell later, Leclair was found unconscious and transported to a Denton hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Leclair had been free on bond for his crimes until his conviction. The Tarrant County medical examiner is expected to determine a cause of death after an autopsy.
