Her wounds are being taken care of at the scene. Tim Cruz, the district attorney for Plymouth County, said that her health “is a moving target.”
At Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Plymouth on Tuesday, both Cora and Dawson were said to be dead. Cruz said that it would be up to the medical examiner’s office to figure out how and why they died, but it looks like they were strangled.
Cruz said, “nobody is here to speculate” about what happened or why Clancy might have killed her own children. Michael Carbone, the chief of police in Duxbury, wouldn’t say if police knew the Clancy family or if 911 calls had been made to the home before.
“Our hearts and condolences go out to the Clancy family,” Cruz said. “I cannot begin to fathom the depths of pain that might be going on.”
People in the area are talking about postpartum depression and psychosis because of the “unthinkable tragedy.” They want to know what happened.
In the past, women who killed their children often did so because they had postpartum depression or psychosis, which can severely change a person’s mind after giving birth. If it isn’t treated, it can put both the mother and her child in danger.
Expert on maternal depression and perinatal psychiatrist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School Nancy Byatt said that postpartum psychosis could “take over” the brain.
