"the lawsuit accuses several medical providers of a "catastrophic failure" to properly diagnose, treat, and monitor Clancy as her postpartum mental health rapidly declined. Instead, the suit alleges, they subjected Clancy to a "disorganized, uncoordinated course of polypharmacy" that only made her worse. Clancy had been experiencing auditory hallucinations for weeks leading up to the killings, according to the complaint, but the commanding voice took on a new urgency after her husband left to pick up dinner on Jan. 24, 2023."
"According to the lawsuit, Clancy entered a dissociative "dream-like state" as she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan inside the family's home, telling them, "Go to God, baby." "I lost all control. My body started acting without any control on my part," Clancy recalls in the complaint. "I was just following commands, 'all action.' This voice demanded action.""
