An 18-year-old Boulder man died Wednesday night after police say he intentionally ingested the deadly poison ricin, which he had manufactured in his home.
Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall identified the man as Ryan Levine and said that the exact cause and manner of his death are still being investigated. Levine died at the University of Colorado Hospital, according to the coroner's office.
Boulder police Detective Sgt. Tom Dowd said that the Boulder Fire Department and Boulder County Public Health helped police with their investigation at the Levine's house in the 900 block of Poplar Avenue and determined that the incident does not pose a threat to the public.
"We don't know why he did it," Dowd said. "We are investigating the death. But we don't know why he did what he did."
