"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."

The son of JP McManus allegedly offered to pay to keep toxicology results private after a test showed his wife, Emma (40), had used cocaine before she died on a Barbados trip. A pathologist was reportedly told the son was "willing to spend any amount of money" to prevent disclosure of the results. The allegation appears in court documents lodged with the Barbados Supreme Court. Widower John Paul McManus lost his attempt to overturn a coroner's ruling that linked Emma's December 2020 death to cocaine use.
