BOSTON — Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury mother accused of strangling her children to death last month and then attempting suicide, remains hospitalized but is “improving daily,” the local police chief has said.
“I don’t have her current condition,” Duxbury Police Chief Michael Carbone told the New Haven Register. “She is, however, improving daily and has spoken to family and friends.”
The Boston Herald has reached out to Carbone’s office and to the department’s chief spokesman Lt. Friend Weiler for further information.
Clancy, 32, is accused of strangling her children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 7 months — sometime before 6:11 on the evening of Jan. 24, when her husband, Patrick, called police to report that she had attempted suicide.
When first responders arrived, they found Lindsay unconscious and wounded, apparently having jumped out of a window of the home at 47 Summer St. They also found the three children, “unconscious, with obvious signs of trauma,” according to initial statements from Plymouth DA Timothy Cruz.
Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead at an area hospital that night. Callan survived until late Friday morning, when he died at Children’s Hospital in Boston.
Clancy was charged with the murder of Cora and Dawson, and three counts each of strangulation or suffocation and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on Jan. 25, and the straight warrant was made public the following day.
No other documents in Clancy’s case have been made public since that time, and the district court clerk’s office had no further updates early Thursday afternoon.
