Toxicologist Details Medication Found in Lindsay Clancy’s SystemWhen Lindsay was hospitalized after killing her children and allegedly tried to take her own life, she tested positive for the antidepressant mirtazapine, the mood stabilizer lamotrigine, the antidepressant trazodone and quetiapine, a drug used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe depression, forensic toxicologist Justin Brower testified Aug. 5.
He said, per The Guardian, that his lab found that only the level of quetiapine in her blood was slightly elevated, but it wasn’t at a “toxic” or “suicidal concentration.” He further described the levels in her blood as “not consistent” with someone who takes a bunch of pills before trying to end her life.
Under defense cross-examination, Brower also said that toxicology results “don’t tell the entire story.”
Lindsay’s attorney Kevin Reddington said in his July 28 opening statement that she has bipolar disorder and medication worsened her condition.
On the day she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan, Reddington said, she heard a voice telling her, “‘This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself.'”
