Patrick Clancy has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming his wife Lindsay was prescribed eight powerful medications in just three weeks before allegedly strangling their three children.

Overview

  • Filed in Norfolk Superior Court, the wrongful-death and medical-malpractice complaint names psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer A. Tufts, nurse practitioner Rebecca H. Jollotta, Aster Mental Health, and South Shore Health, seeks at least $1 million, and demands a jury trial.
  • The filing details a rapid cascade of prescriptions including Zoloft, Prozac, Ambien, Remeron, Klonopin, Seroquel, Valium, and Lamictal, alleging minimal follow-up, poor care coordination, and a failure to respond to worsening symptoms.
  • Citing medical records, the complaint says Lindsay Clancy reported a commanding male voice urging her to take the children with her, while prosecutors assert she planned the killings and knew what she was doing.
  • The lawsuit notes Women & Infants Hospital flagged likely overmedication, and it accuses South Shore Health of a separate HIPAA violation tied to improper access to the family’s medical records.
  • Separately, Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murder and strangulation charges, remains at Tewksbury State Hospital, plans an insanity defense, was denied a change of venue, and is set for trial on July 20, 2026.
