A Massachusetts man charged with murdering his mom, then setting her body on fire in front of her $900,000 Cape Cod home, choked to death on wet toilet paper in his jail cell over the weekend.
Adam Howe, 34, was rushed by authorities to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford. He was later pronounced dead on Sunday, according to spokesman Jonathan Darling of the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office.
The statement released by Darling said, “Mr. Howe clogged his airways with wet toilet paper and suffered a medical emergency. Out of respect for the family, we have no additional comment or detail. That family has been through a lot this weekend. Please keep them in your prayers.”
Authorities and the firefighters found 69-year old Susan Howe’s remains, still on fire, on her front lawn Friday at 9:30 p.m. in the Truro area of Cape Cod.
Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Truro Police Chief Jamie Calise stated that authorities had responded to the home due to a wellness check and reports of a fire.
After Adam Howe barricaded himself inside the home off Quail Ridge Road, the Cape Cod Regional SWAT Team forcibly extracted him and placed him under arrest.
Howe was taken to Cape Cod Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and medical officials cleared him to return to custody.
Darling said, “He was transported on Saturday afternoon to Ash Street Jail, where supervisors put him on security watch and did a visual check every 15 minutes. We also clothed him in a nylon rip-resistant smock for his safety. However despite our precautions, he still managed to obstruct his airways with wet toilet paper.”
This isn’t the first criminal act to grace Howe’s records.
In August, he was arrested for breaking into a business in Truro, Massachusetts. He was also charged with possession of Suboxone without a prescription, which is used to treat opioid addiction.
His mother was the president of the Truro Historical Society.
“Susan brought immense creativity, energy, time and passion to our organization,” the Truro Historical Society Board of Directors said in a press release. “She loved Truro, and was totally committed to preserving our history and culture and the well-being of her beloved town.”
Susan Howe was also very involved in the Truro Commission on the Disabled, the Community Preservation Committee and the Walsh Committee.
Photos on Facebook show Susan Howe gleefully celebrating Adam Howe’s wedding in 2019. Her son welcomed his first child the following year, and the two are shown in a photo doting on the infant. A caption next to the image reads, “Three generations.”
Adam Howe had been living with his mother, an official said.
Out of respect for the family, we have no additional comment or details, funny you would say this when it comes to a white person, but you would have plenty to say when it comes to black folks, we care less about this guy and his family, we need details on him , so where did he work, how much did he earn, did he kill many others or was dear ole mom this guy first kill and this open the door for many more killings, what bank did he deposit money into, was his money stolen from others, did he have a wife or husband, did he have sex with animals, or children, was he into child porn, did he sell illegal drugs on the street ,did he commit wire fraud, was he a serial stalker, reporters don’t have a heart toward others who are non white, he killed another, therefore no holds bar his life story need to be told, was his mom a racist and did she receive her karma from her son, how was she able to afford a home like that, was that family into white collar crime , did he and his family storm the Whitehouse like so many whites did and stolen valuable stuff out of it, if you going to tell this story you need to leave having respect out of it, just like he did not have an ounce of that when he killed that woman, that coward took her ass i out of here in a blaze of fire instead of allowing her to die peacefully in her golden years , of all things that piece of shit stuffed shit paper down his damn throat and took himself straight to hell , where most of his fore fathers are at welcoming him in, and why did he kill her, how did he kill her before roasting the hell out of her, she was well done when the fire fighters arrived, that SOB made sure mommy dearest was burnt to a crisp I’ll bet he was singing burn baby burn disco inferno. while watching her go up in smoke . she had to really piss him off for him to do that on that day , he didn’t just kill her, he set a blaze to her ass , in front of her home , was she used as an example to show her neighbors and friends what he will do to them also? we need to know everything , there is to know, did that entire family belong to a racist cult and worshipped the got damn devil, was she sacrificed to that God of hell , once again the reporters don’t have any sort of heart and good will toward others, therefore the same applies with this family .reporters would say fuck other families feeling especially if they are black Americans to be honest , so the same should apply to that family also Therefore fill readers in on all this family dark secrets and leave nothing out, Happy Halloween readers, I wrote this due to reading many reporters stories and the heartless attitude they have toward others, respect should be given to all , not just some ok!!!
So this too is about race?
I bet you worship the Demoncrat party.
Your rant was about impossible to read due to lack of punctuation, capital letters and overall ignorance.
You need psychiatric help
Your whole rant exposes what a racist you really are and sit there and accuse everybody else including the story about this murder as being racist that’s what a racist is you see everything in color. Most people can see through the crap you’re full of it
ONE DAY, I hope that we all will be able to see what God sees EVERYDAY, hatred for one anothher. God CHOSE Abraham to become” the FATHER of MANY NATIONS”, not the FATHER of MANY RACES. The HUMAN race is the ONLY race.
A little bit too angry are we here? Not good for the soul. My pet peeve deals with reporting on criminal behavior, suspects and those in custody where the race of the individual is omitted. 5 foot 8, 175 lbs., dark hair, color of skin not mentioned. Usually means a black person. Otherwise I agree with you: just look at lily white Hunter Biden. Illegal drugs, illegal gun, porno freak, tax evasion, soliciting prostitutes, influence peddling, payouts from foreign governments and companies… no consequences. Meanwhile, what about all those whites being illegally imprisoned as political prisoners in DC?
Thank you could not have said it better
I agree Larry. I get tired of hearing black people never have a chance, or blamed for everything. Give me a break!! I’m sick of hearing that bullshit. I’m white and I was bullied by black people, so don’t go there. Shut the fuck up about black people always being bullied, harassed it bullshit. All races go through it. Black people just think they are entitled because of their ancestors. Black people now don’t have a clue what their ancestors went through, and white people were slaves too, so look that up!!!
We all are or have been subjected to “” slavery ” in some form or another, in your reply it was in vulgarity.For some, it’s alcohol, drugs ,work ,material things , social status, etc. JESUS died for ALL of these things, REPENT and SERVE God to the best of your abilty. AMEN.
Malarkey, I know these people , their good people , and black too.
He did this to himself? How stupid to believe this!
