While Lindsay Clancy’s trial concluded nearly two months ago, the Massachusetts mother who was accused of slaying her three children inside her Duxbury home is still making headlines with ongoing lawsuits between her ex-husband and her medical providers.

Patrick Clancy filed a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of his children against the medical providers who treated his ex-wife, but attorneys for those providers want the case dismissed. Patrick’s attorneys argue that it should be allowed to proceed.

Lindsay Clancy Receives Treatment

At the end of 2022, Lindsay Clancy began seeking help for her mental health issues after giving birth to her youngest son. She saw several medical professionals, including psychiatrists, psychiatrist nurse practitioners, and other counselors. However, none could properly assess or treat her issues.

The former labor and delivery nurse defended herself through trial by asserting she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of her children’s deaths and could not be held criminally liable. The lawsuits allege that if Lindsay had received the proper care, her children would not have died in January 2023.

Ex-Husband’s Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Patrick Clancy’s lawsuit is against a psychiatrist and a nurse practitioner who saw Lindsay in the months before their children’s deaths. He filed it on behalf of the three children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

Patrick’s and the defendants’ attorneys were Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist, and Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Both defendants argued that the case should be dismissed, but Patrick’s attorney Howard Cooper said he intends for Lindsay Clancy to testify once her criminal case has concluded and wants the lawsuits to proceed.

However, Lindsay’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, posted a statement on X that Patrick’s attorneys do not speak for her. “Lindsay Clancy never told any of her healthcare providers that she harbored homicidal ideation toward her children,” the statement read.

“She never indicated that she intended to testify in Mr. Clancy’s lawsuit, and no one acting for her ever represented that she would.”

After the hearing, the judge said they will consider the matter. Patrick Clancy claims in the wrongful death lawsuit that his ex-wife was overprescribing medications in the months before his children’s deaths.

The suit alleges that she was driven to kill them after she “started hearing a compelling and unrecognizable singular male voice that told her ‘this is your last chance’ and that she had to ‘take them’ with [her].”

Duxbury Home Killings

On January 24, 2023, Patrick Clancy allegedly arrived home to find his wife had jumped out of a second-story window following a suicide attempt. She allegedly told him, with a crushed throat, that the children were in the basement, and when he found them, they had been strangled with exercise bands.

Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead at the scene when paramedics arrived, and 8-month-old Callan was transported to the intensive care unit where he died three days later. Patrick claimed that Lindsay admitted to the killings, and another medical professional brought forth the same claim, but beyond that, there is no evidence to prove she said anything of the sort.

Patrick and Lindsay Lead Different Lives

Beyond the lawsuit, Patrick has moved on from his past life. He divorced Lindsay following her arrest for the killings of their three children and has moved out of Massachusetts. He remarried ahead of the high-profile trial to an infertility specialist, Rachel Danis, and the two live in New York City.

Patrick says he forgives his ex-wife, who did not deny the killings during her first trial, but now her defense is claiming that she never admitted to the fatal strangling of those children. All parties involved in the lawsuit testified during trial, which ended in an 11-1 split leading to a mistrial.

Lindsay remains in custody at a psychiatric hospital while her case continues. Her fate is unknown, but she also has pending lawsuits against the same two medical professionals in Patrick’s lawsuit, as well as several other psychiatrists, counselors, and medical treatment facilities.
