Fundraiser for Duxbury's Clancy family raises $420,000 in first day - The Patriot Ledger

"We all know Pat to be the most kind and genuine person," fundraiser organizer Matthew Glaser wrote.

"This GoFundMe is intended to help Pat pay for medical bills, funeral services, and legal help," the page said.

"This assistance is especially needed because Pat will be unable to work for the foreseeable future as he weathers this painful, life-altering tragedy."

Police responded to a call reporting a woman's suicide attempt by jumping out a window at 47 Summer St. just after 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Cruz said first responders found all three children unconscious with "obvious signs of severe trauma."

Cruz said the medical examiner's office will be responsible for determining the exact means and causes of their deaths, but that it appears they were strangled.
