Toledo police Tuesday were investigating a letter containing death threats and a suspicious powdery substance with a strong odor that left two people feeling sick after they opened the letter at their central city residence Monday, authorities said.
Leola Green-Haynes and Oscar Haynes, both of Forest Avenue, called 911 after opening the letter. When they complained of feeling nauseous and light-headed, they were taken to and admitted to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, police said.
Mr. Haynes and Ms. Green-Haynes were listed in fair condition Tuesday, a hospital spokesman said.
The incident occurred about 3 p.m. in the 1800 block of Forest. The Toledo Fire Department’s hazardous material unit and police arrived a short time later, took control of the scene, and removed the letter, officers said.
