#coricidin

How do you feel before you still box of pills that youll pop like candy later?

How do you feel?

When you look down at the box of Coricidin?

When you're choking on your tears because boys take your beauty as stupidity and girls used you for popularity

how do you feel when you don't want to feel?

when feeling touch your core like a hot coal burning holes into your well-being

When your well-being is no longer well.

Being unwell means you're sick right? so you drink a bottle cough syrup

You drink a cup or two to fix the cold that burns you.

Matthew Phelps (28) and Lauren Hugelmaier (29) were married for a little under a year when Matthew stabbed Lauren to death in their North Carolina home on September 1st, 2017. Matthew, an aspiring pastor, claims that he has no recollection of the stabbing. He told police that he took too much cough syrup before bed, and when he awoke in the middle of the night, Lauren was dead. In his 911 call, Matthew is heard saying “I had a dream, and then I turn on the lights and she’s dead on the floor. I have blood all over me, and there’s a bloody knife on the bed, and I think I did it.”

Investigators were suspicious of Matthew’s story from the get-go. The cough syrup that Matthew allegedly took before the incident is called Coricidin HBP Cold and Cough. Hallucinations are listed as a side effect of the medicine, however, there is no other evidence to suggest that Coricidin is associated with violent behavior. Investigators also say they have found evidence that suggests Lauren’s death was premeditated, but they have not yet elaborated on said evidence. Matthew was arrested shortly after the incident.
