Expert says the drugs found in Clancy’s system were at therapeutic levels on Wednesday
Forensic toxicologist Justin Brower said that all four drugs in Clancy’s body were at therapeutic levels and did not show levels that he would expect to see in a suicide case.
‘Usually people take handfuls of pills if they’re trying to kill themselves,’ Brower told the court.
When asked by prosecutors about the benzodiazepines found in her system, he found that they were also at therapeutic levels – meaning at levels they would be prescribed.
Some were even below therapeutic levels, he testified.
However, he pointed out that ‘you can’t do toxicology in a vacuum… you need other information.’
