Paramedic Describes Treating Lindsay Clancy
Robert Costanzo from the Pembroke Fire Department attended to Lindsay Clancy after she jumped from her home in Duxbury. Clancy displayed agitation by reaching out her arms, yet she did not regain consciousness. Costanzo administered Narcan, used to counteract drug overdoses, but it did not affect Clancy. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington emphasized that the Narcan had no impact, questioning Costanzo about his knowledge of Clancy’s spinal injury, which Costanzo admitted he was unaware of. Discussion arose over the characterization of Clancy’s neck and wrist wounds, previously labeled superficial. Inside a well-lit ambulance, Costanzo observed no significant bleeding from these injuries. His testimony concluded at 11:45 a.m.
