Connecticut Woman Dies by Suicide Hours Before Sentencing for Husband's Murder

Linda Kosuda-Bigazzi ingested antifreeze before her scheduled court appearance for the 2017 killing of her husband, Dr. Pierluigi Bigazzi.

Linda Kosuda-Bigazzi was found dead at her Burlington home on July 24, hours before her sentencing.
She had pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and larceny for killing her husband and continuing to receive his paychecks.
Her cause of death was confirmed as ethylene glycol toxicity by the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Police discovered Dr. Pierluigi Bigazzi's body in the couple's basement in February 2018 after a welfare check request.
Kosuda-Bigazzi claimed she acted in self-defense, but agreed to a 13-year prison sentence as part of a plea deal.
