Tragedy strikes in Massachusetts after a nurse, Lindsay Clancy, allegedly attempted murder/suicide with her three children being the victims. Unfortunately for her, the plan failed as she survived her 20-ft fall.
New Development In The Killer Nurse Case
Her husband called 911 before Clancy jumped so the first responders were there to intercept the fall. They waited outside her home in Duxbury to intercept her fall.
911 Call Unveiled
Although Clancy hit the ground and sustained some impact injuries, the first responders where there to prevent her suicide from happening. A new recording from the frantic 911 call reached the internet and provided more context to the situation.
Emergency Responders
Three minutes after the distress call, a dispatcher informed the rest of the team about the situation so they could arrive prepared. They didn’t know where Clancy kept the sharp object used to slash her neck, but they suspected it was a knife.
One Survivor – The 7-Month-Old Baby
The dispatchers on the ground found Clancy’s victims in her basement and reported their conditions as dead on arrival. They first saw two of the children, then found the third one positioned away from the duo.
The Victims
Clancy’s children were pediatrics, with the eldest, Cora, 5, and the other two, Callan, 7 months, and Dawson, 3. Callan survived for some days but was in critical condition in the hospital until he gave up the ghost.
All Emergency Respondents On Ground
The medics weren’t the only first responders on ground as the 911 dispatch sent firefighters to evaluate the situation.
Possible Post-Partum Depression
Authorities suspect the Caucasian woman suffered post-partum depression following Callan’s birth but the DOJ’s office hasn’t substantiated the claim.
Not-Guilty Plea
Clancy’s defense team intends to plead not-guilty by means of insanity saying the alleged killer acted based on medication.
