The son of JP McManus allegedly told a pathologist that he was “willing to spend any amount of money” to keep private the toxicology results indicating his wife had used cocaine before she died.
The claim is made in new court documents lodged with the Barbados Supreme Court, where widower John Paul McManus has lost his case in seeking to overturn a coroner’s ruling that the death of his wife, Emma (40), was linked to using cocaine in December 2020.
