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.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ethylene glycol is an industrial compound found in various consumer products like antifreeze, hydraulic brake fluids, some stamp pad inks, ballpoint pens, solvents, paints, plastics, films, and cosmetics.
