NEWARK, N.J.   Authorities say an 80-year-old New Jersey man died from injuries suffered when his wife hurled a cocktail glass and struck him in the head.

The Essex County Prosecutor's Office on Friday said 76-year-old Marlene Mackenzie will soon face an additional charge of reckless manslaughter. She was already charged with aggravated assault following the incident early Thursday morning.

Prosecutors say she called police to their North Caldwell home and reported her husband was not breathing.

Robert MacKenzie was hospitalized and died about 18 hours later on Thursday night. The medical examiner attributed the death to blunt force trauma.

A lawyer for the woman did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday. She has been freed on $20,000 bail.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Sounds like a drinking problem.

I wonder if she's a pitcher, because it sounds like he took a highball to the head.

She's got a pretty good dang arm for her age Wink

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
