EP 80 - Let's Talk About Arsenic

Death By Champagne

Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! We are back to our regular format this week! Mack starts us off and unpacks a lot with the murder of Kimyala Henson, and her missing daughters Shaina and Shausha. While Liv takes us back to the 1800’s to discuss arsenic, it’s history and the death of Thomas Ball? Was he poisoned by his wife Mary or did he accidentally take arsenic on his own?
This episode contains foul language, discussions about murder, sex traficking, and domestic abuse. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
