Connecticut Woman Who Admitted to Killing Husband Ends Her Own Life Hours Before Sentencing
The tragic loss of a Connecticut woman occurred just hours before she was supposed to be sentenced for taking her husband’s life.
On Monday, August 12, the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that 76-year-old Linda Kosuda-Bigazzi was found dead at her home in Burlington on the morning of Wednesday, July 24. She had ended her own life. The medical examiner determined that a toxic reaction to ethylene glycol was the cause.
Her arrest followed the discovery of Dr. Pierluigi Bigazzi’s body in their basement on February 5, 2018. He had been an employee at the University of Connecticut.
Hartford Judicial District’s State Attorney, Sharmese L. Walcott, released a statement noting that the police were asked to conduct a welfare check at the home by Dr. Bigazzi’s employer, who had not heard from him for several months.
“An investigation showed paychecks from the victim’s employer continued to be deposited into the couple’s joint checking account from the time of his death, which authorities believe to be sometime in July 2017, until his body was discovered in early February 2018,” the authorities stated.
