US EditionMedical staff overmedicated Duxbury mother accused of killing her 3 children, lawsuit alleges
Patrick Clancy alleges mental health providers overmedicated Lindsay, failing to monitor her, which led to her mental collapse and the deaths of their three children, seeking over $1 million in damages.
- Patrick Clancy filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in Norfolk Superior Court Tuesday, alleging overmedication and seeking more than $1 MILLION in damages on behalf of his children's estates.
- After her third child's birth, treatment escalated amid rising anxiety as Clancy sought psychiatric help following postpartum stress that worsened through fall 2022, leading to in-patient care at McLean Hospital in early January 2023.
- Clinical records show short virtual appointments lasting 17 minutes and medication changes including Zoloft, trazodone, Prozac, Ambien, Remeron, Klonopin, and Seroquel, the lawsuit alleges.
- Investigators say Clancy allegedly strangled her children on Jan. 24, 2023, then attempted suicide, leaving her paralyzed; she has pleaded not guilty and is held at Tewksbury State Hospital awaiting a July 20, 2026 trial.
- A judge denied a venue change request, and the lawsuit alleges recent HIPAA violations by South Shore Health System, with experts noting the civil filing's timing may influence publicity and testimony.
