After the January 2023 deaths of her three children, she was first treated at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston before moving to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. By May 2023, she had been transferred to Tewksbury State Hospital, where she has remained in state custody while receiving mental health and medical care. Lindsay Clancy has spent most of the past three years in medical and psychiatric facilities rather than a regular prison.
Because of the spinal injury she suffered after jumping from her home’s second-floor window, she is now appearing in Plymouth Superior Court for her murder trial, often in a wheelchair.
The Boston Globe reported at the time that the move followed her treatment at Brigham and Women’s and Spaulding. She was initially taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where she remained for weeks. Her physical injuries meant she needed ongoing rehabilitation and medical care. That stay did not become her long-term placement. Tewksbury State Hospital is a state-run facility in Massachusetts, not a traditional prison. Clancy has remained there for more than three years. Her stay has continued while the legal case moved forward.
On February 7, 2023, she appeared virtually for her first arraignment from her hospital bed and pleaded not guilty. By March 23, court records showed that Clancy had been moved to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. In May 2023, she was transferred to Tewksbury State Hospital after doctors said she needed further mental health treatment. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health says the 370-bed hospital treats adults with medical and mental illnesses and provides round-the-clock nursing care, rehabilitation, psychology and other services. Court proceedings have also taken place remotely from the hospital, including her October 2023 arraignment, when she appeared in a wheelchair. NBC Boston reported in March 2026 that she was still receiving mental health treatment at Tewksbury State Hospital under constant supervision.
