Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband (the woman accused of murdering her three children in the United States) revealed in a recent interview that he held his son Callan as he died, at which point he could only react by apologizing for everything that had happened: "I told him, 'I'm so sorry,' and I was able to hug him. I lay down next to him and he died in my arms".

Before Callan's death, which occurred four days later after Clancy attacked the children, Patrick held onto hope that the little one could survive: "I remember thinking, 'I just want one. I just want one child,' and I would raise him the best I could, give him the best possible life. I would tell him about his brother and sister. I kept hoping that would be the case. But when I got to the hospital, I saw the doctor, I saw the expression on her face, and I knew the prognosis wasn't going to be good," he recounted.

The legal process remains in the media spotlight as the court determines whether to declare Lindsay Clancy guilty or exempt her from criminal responsibility, with her defense arguing that she was suffering from a severe case of postpartum depression. Patrick Clancy, on his part, stated that he still maintains a strong emotional bond with Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and he claimed that he tries to communicate with them despite their absence: "I talk to them," he confessed to the journalist. When asked what he often says to them, he responded emotionally: "Help me, help me always".
