In 2019, Minnesota police responded to noise complaints after 58-year-old Duane Johnson threw a meth-fueled "death party" for his ailing wife, they found her corpse wrapped in a sheet at the top of the stairs surrounded by 47 guns.
When police responded, a naked Duane Johnson opened the screen door and screamed, “My wife is dead upstairs,” the charging document stated.
He ran back inside saying he “needed to wash this stuff off of (him).”
The deputy found him sitting in the bathtub in a bathroom on the main floor of the home, the court document said. Johnson told the deputy he had to wash with soap and bleach to get little black-and-white “things” off his skin. While sitting in the tub, Johnson said his wife had been “shaking so violently” and he “couldn’t stand seeing her flop around anymore,” the document said.
At the time of his arrest, Johnson told police that he had checked her out of a nursing home and medicated her with meth. He reportedly admitted to throwing Debra a 'death party' because she didn't want to die in the nursing home. The couple's home is seen below.
Debra Lynn Johnson's final wishes included "rocking out" to Quiet Riot's 'Metal Health,' smoking meth and having sex with her 58-year-old husband Duane. Duane told deputies that Debra begged him to take her out of her nursing home to let her die at home. He said they spent the last several days of her life ingesting meth.
He was found guilty of criminal neglect and ordered to serve 19 months in prison, then serve the rest of his sentence on supervised release.

“I don't think we have full knowledge of the history of their relationship. Debra may have been abused, or they may have had a genuinely loving bond distorted by circumstance”.

“In cases like these involving end-of-life decisions and unconventional final wishes, how can the legal system strike a balance between respecting individual autonomy and protecting individuals from harm or exploitation?”.

“This is the face of a man who respects his wife and loves her dearly to honor her last wishes no matter how bizarre it sounded”.

“I don't think he did anything wrong, he only wanted his wife to be happy before she died.
Atleast she got to spend her remaining few days with her husband, having sex and smoking away their problems”
