Story here. The first thing that came to mind when reading this story is the wife isn't closely scrutinized for her involvement. Don't get me wrong, she's innocent until proven guilty, but if it was mom who tragically 'fell' on a knife, the husband would be in severe trouble. Excerpt:

'CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man who grabbed a knife to try to get his two young children out of a locked car died when he fell on the blade, Charlotte police said.

The Charlotte Observer reported that 22-year-old Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus died Sunday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center after being stabbed in the chest.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were investigating but said Lemus' death appears to have been an accident.

Lemus and his wife had dropped by their apartment briefly before planning an errand when they realized they had locked their children and keys in the car, authorities said.'

The last sentence in the article got my goat.

"The woman got the kids out with the spare keys."

What I read in that sentence was two-fold. 1, I read "The man was a doofus to try to get them out with a knife when the spare keys were readily available," and 2, "Who really cares about the man who died trying to save his kids? His wife saved them anyway."

Cold, heartless, and cruel article.
