A Microsoft manager accused of stealing $9 million in software to fuel a lavish lifestyle died from drinking antifreeze, according to the King County Medical Examiner's Office. Daniel Feussner died Feb. 7 from ingesting ethylene glycol, the main ingredient in antifreeze, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. How it happened is unknown; there were no witnesses to his death.

A judge released him on a $100,000 bond almost two weeks later, on the condition that he remain electronically monitored at home. Federal prosecutors dropped the case against him after his death.
