From the Duxbury Tragedy to the Courtroom: the Timeline Behind Clancy's Paralysis
The events at 47 Summer Street in Duxbury began with an ordinary suburban errand. Patrick Clancy left the family residence shortly after 5:30 p.m. to pick up takeout food from a local restaurant and stop at a pharmacy, an outing requested by his wife. When he returned home approximately 45 minutes later, the house was silent.
Patrick walked outside to the backyard after finding blood in the home. There, he discovered Lindsay lying on the ground below an open second-floor window. She was conscious but unresponsive to questions about their children. After calling 911 at 6:11 p.m., Patrick checked the basement. He discovered seven-year-old Cora, five-year-old Dawson, and seven-month-old Callan. Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead that evening at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth. Callan survived on life support for several days at Boston Children's Hospital before succumbing to his injuries on January 27.
