Al Green & The Hot Grits Incident

Green's girlfriend, Mary Woodson, assaulted him and then died by suicide at his Memphis home. She doused him with a pot of boiling grits as he was preparing for bed in the bathroom, causing second-degree burns on his back, stomach, and arms which required skin grafts. Shortly after, Woodson fatally shot herself with his .38 handgun. Police found an apparent suicide note inside Woodson's purse that declared her intentions and her reasons.
