More is being learned about the alleged double suicide of online gambling portal website owner Kenneth Weitzner and his wife Jackie.
Sources close to the investigation reveal to Gambling911.com that the deaths were a combination of overdosing with pills (believed to be Valium) and carbon monoxide. All the windows and doors of an apartment above the couple's garage where the bodies were found had been sealed off with tape. A charcoal grill was used, resulting in the carbon monoxide poisoning.
"(Ken) was severely burned on the upper right thigh and genital area from where he re-lit the grill with lighter fluid," our source tells us.
Federal agents also confiscated the hard drive on Weitzner's computer.
Gambling911.com can reveal that the bodies were found four days after the deaths because "Ken told the housekeeper not to come to work until Saturday".
Gambling911.com has spoken to individuals who knew the couple. None wanted to be identified but all insist that Jackie would not have willingly committed suicide.
"It has been a very hard loss for all of us," said one close family friend. "Only now are a lot of us getting back into the rhythm of things with our daily lives."
Weitzner was founder and proprietor of EOG.com, a popular sports betting forum. He had previously owned and sold TheRx.com, a similar website.
Those investigating the matter for Gambling911.com include one time crime reporter Thomas Somach.
