HONG KONG — An anesthesiologist convicted of killing his wife and daughter by placing a yoga ball that leaked carbon monoxide in their car has been sentenced to life in prison in Hong Kong. Khaw was accused of putting the gas-filled yoga ball in the trunk of a Mini Cooper driven by his wife on May 22, 2015. They were later declared dead from severe carbon monoxide poisoning, although the vehicle showed no defects such as a leaky emissions system. The case initially baffled Hong Kong police until the presence of the deflated yoga ball drew suspicion. Khaw reportedly obtained the carbon monoxide from the hospital.
